Matinhos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board and let's get into it. This forecast for Matinhos is a slow burner. We've got a solid point break here, famous for handling a south swell, and it's very consistent, so you know it'll be trying. Right now, the water temperature is sitting about average for this time of year, so a standard spring suit is the call.

We kick off on Sunday the 5th. It's not huge, a 4ft SSE groundswell with an 11-second period, but the magic is in the morning. A 3 mph cross-offshore wind from the north is keeping it clean. The combined energy is a moderate 328, but that morning session will be worth the paddle. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a light cross-onshore, so aim for dawn patrol.

Monday the 6th is actually a standout. The swell drops a touch to 3ft from the SSE, but the wind goes glassy in the morning. Completely clean, smooth conditions. This is your window for a fun, cruisy surf on a longboard or a fish. The period is still a solid 10 seconds, giving the waves shape. Good energy too with a 295 reading.

Tuesday the 7th turns a bit ugly in the morning with a bumpy 2ft and onshore wind, but the afternoon saves the day. The wind goes glassy again, and the swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSE. The period drops to 8 seconds, making it a bit weaker and less powerful, but the combined energy jumps to a moderate 403. It'll be a bit soft, but clean and fun for an intermediate.

From Wednesday the 8th right through the weekend, it gets small. We're looking at waist-high dribble at best, with a mix of clean mornings and choppy afternoons. The 10th and 14th-16th are particularly flat, with swells dropping below 2ft. A real quiet period. There's a brief flicker on the 12th with clean 2ft and 13-second period groundswell, but it's inconsistent and still small.

Now, here's the long-range promise. Look at the 19th of July. Sunday morning sees a 6ft SSE swell roll in, but the wind is on it. The afternoon, however, goes glassy with a 4ft SE swell. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it'll be weak and soft, but the combined energy is still moderate at 286. It's worth keeping an eye on.

Then Monday morning the 20th gets interesting. A 4ft SE swell with a very long 16-second period and strong energy (805). The issue is the wind is cross-onshore, which will chop it up. It's a promising window, but the conditions need to clean up to make it a proper standout. Keep that date locked in.

But if you're asking for the best on offer, it's Monday morning the 6th for pure, clean, glassy fun, and the afternoon of the 19th has potential for the biggest, cleanest waves of the outlook, albeit with a short period.
