Pantin

Valdovino, Spain
🌀Strong rips🪨Rocks

Pantin is Galicia's surfing gateway—a powerful beach break in northwest Spain that hosts the longstanding Pantin Classic, one of Europe's most respected WSL Qualifying Series events. The dramatic granite cliffs surrounding this wild Atlantic beach create a setting that feels worlds away from Spain's Mediterranean image. When solid swells sweep in from the north Atlantic, Pantin produces hollow A-frame peaks with genuine barrel potential. The Celtic-influenced Galician culture, world-class seafood, and uncrowded waves make this an increasingly popular destination for surfers exploring beyond the Basque Country.
