The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Give us a look at the local surf.
Alright, let’s be straight with you. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat and ordinary for Matinhos. There’s a solid run of small, weak swell from the east, and the wind is mostly a problem. We’ve got a few windows where things clean up, but nothing is going to get your heart racing. The water is sitting at 66°F which is about 1°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so pretty average.
The best bet for a paddle is probably Matinhos (point) these next few mornings. Sunday morning (19 July) and Monday morning (20 July) are both bringing offshore wind from the northwest and some clean, small waves. We’re talking about 3ft to 3ft of east swell, coming in at 8 seconds, with combined energy around 88 to 105 (moderate). That’s not a lot of push, but the light offshore breeze will make it feel better than it sounds. Crowds are often here, so expect some company on those small, clean lines. The point setup will handle that short period swell better than the beach.
The only other real standout is a very specific, glassy moment on Wednesday afternoon (22 July). The wind drops to zero, giving us a glassy surface, but the swell is down to 2ft from the east with a combined energy of only 85 (weak). It’s surfable, but you’ll be working for every little ride.
After that, it’s a tough slog. Thursday (23 July) through the weekend sees onshore winds and a messy, choppy ocean. There’s a little bump in size on Friday (24 July) with some 4ft swell from the SSE, but the wind is cross-on and it’s rated as marginal. The combined energy climbs to 260 (moderate), but the quality just isn’t there.
The second week is a real mixed bag of tiny, weak swell and poor wind. There’s a glimmer on Tuesday morning (28 July) with a clean, cross-off breeze and a long-period 2ft groundswell from the SE (14 seconds, 162 combined energy), but it’s just too small to get excited about. Another glassy window on Thursday morning (30 July) offers 3ft from the SSE, but again, the energy is low at 108.
Overall, it’s a lean period. The first few mornings are your best chance for a messy but clean session on the point. Don’t get your hopes up for anything epic.
Stay patient, 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.
