Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles.
Water’s at 20°, which is normal for the time of year.
The forecast kicks off Saturday, July 4th. There’s a 4ft SSE swell, long 13-second period, decent energy (510). But Saturday morning has that SE wind killing the mood. Saturday afternoon goes glassy, so you might get a few clean ones on the 4ft swell – but it’s nothing wild.
Sunday, July 5th morning is dead calm, glassy. A 4ft SSE swell with an 11-second period, moderate energy (322). It’ll be clean but small. Sunday afternoon turns cross-shore.
The real change is Tuesday, July 7th afternoon. Swell jumps to 6ft, but period drops to just 8 seconds – that’s wind swell. Energy hits 607 (strong), but the SE wind is onshore and choppy. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a clean paddle session.
Wednesday 8th morning cleans up with a light offshore NW wind, but only 3ft swell and 9-second period. Weak energy (137). Surfable, but ordinary.
Then it gets quiet. Thursday 9th through Saturday 11th is tiny and poor.
Sunday, July 12th morning shows a 2ft SE swell with a nice 12-second period, cross-off SW wind, and energy of 287. Clean but still small.
The second week, from July 13th to 18th, is mostly small and messy. There’s a moment on Saturday 18th morning with a 5ft SSW swell, but it’s wind-affected and short-period (8 seconds), with moderate energy (391).
Your best bet is Sunday, July 19th morning. That’s a long way off, but glassy conditions, light NNW wind, a 3ft SSE swell with a solid 12-second period, and moderate energy (299). If it comes together, Matinhos could be clean and lined-up. Crowds are possible.
Overall? A pretty quiet stretch. A few moments in the first week, but the real hope is July 19th – and that’s a wait-and-see.
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.
