The Lowdown

Righto, surf’s up – or at least, it’s trying its best to get there. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks here at Matinhos (Matinhos). The start is pretty grim, but there are a couple of windows where it all comes together. Don’t blink, because the good ones don’t last long.

The first few days are a write-off. Wednesday and Thursday are just messy with cross-onshore winds and weak, short-period swell. The surf is small, around `3ft` to `3ft`, and the water’s chopped up. There’s just no push or shape to it. The combined energy is weak, sitting at `102` to `186`. You’re better off doing something else.

We finally see a bit of life on Sunday the 20th. The morning is the clear winner – a glassy surface with calm winds and the swell starting to fill in at around `5ft` from the east. The energy jumps up to `286`, which is the first sign of something decent. It’s still a bit raw, but there’s hope. The afternoon gets a bit messy again, so get on it early. After that, we slide back into small, weak surf for a few days.

Now, here’s the standout. It’s a bit further out, but Thursday the 24th looks like the pick of the bunch. We’ve got glassy conditions and a solid pulse of long-period groundswell from the southeast. The size is small – only `2ft` to `2ft` – but the period is a lengthy `14` to `15` seconds, which means real energy. The combined energy is strong at `233` to `258`. This is a long-period swell, so it might be a bit walled at the beach breaks, but at a point like Matinhos it should wrap in nicely. This is one of those days where the clean, glassy surface makes the most of every bit of push. Very promising, but long-range calls are always a bit less certain.

The other one to keep an eye on is Thursday the 1st of October. The morning looks proper. We’ve got a clean, offshore wind and a bigger pulse of swell – around `5ft` from the SSE. The combined energy is a solid `560`, which is the biggest of the whole run. This is the one with the most size and power. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so it’s not a shock to the system.

Beyond that, it fades out again. There’s a messy spell with onshore winds and small surf, so don’t plan a session around those days. Keep it simple – Sunday the 20th and Thursday the 24th are your best early bets, with Thursday the 1st of October being the big one to aim for. It’s a long way out, but it looks like the best on offer.

Alright, stay stoked.

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.
