The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've been staring at the charts for this stretch of coast, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a flat spell that just won't quit. There's hardly a wave worth paddling out for across this entire 16-day run.
The first few days are a total write-off. From July 27th right through to August 2nd, it's all tiny, weak surf. We're talking ankle-slashers with combined energy barely hitting 65 (weak energy) on Monday morning, and it just gets smaller from there. The water temperature is sitting at a mild 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only silver lining.
We finally see a slight nudge on the morning of August 2nd – Sunday – with the swell bumping up to 3ft from the East, and the winds are light and cross-offshore, leaving it clean. The combined energy is still only 88 (weak energy), so it's surfable but very ordinary. The crowd situation at this break is "often", so expect a few locals out for the scraps.
The rest of the first week and into the second is more of the same story. There's a little pulse of energy on Thursday, August 6th, with a combined energy reading of 101 (moderate energy) and a 4ft swell from the SSE, but the wind is howling straight onshore at 12 mph, making it a total mess. The next morning, Friday the 7th, brings a cleaner 3ft from the SSE with light cross-on winds, but again, it's weak and just ordinary.
The best looking window, and I'm using that term loosely, falls on the morning of Saturday, August 10th. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the East, but the wind is glassy from the NNW, and the combined energy is a paltry 71. For a point break like Matinhos that needs a solid South swell to light up, this is disappointing. The optimum direction is S, and we're getting E and SSE all window.
Honestly, this is one of those blank runs that can happen here. The waves are just not cooperating. Keep an eye on it, though. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can shift.
Rusty.

Information about the Matinhos Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Matinhos provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Matinhos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Matinhos surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Matinhos) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Matinhos may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Matinhos is 15 km (9 miles) from Paranagua. If you plan a holiday in Paraná, look for hotels and other accommodation in Paranagua. Paranagua has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
