The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Matinhos over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a slow start. The first few days are pretty ordinary – small, weak swell and nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. We’re looking at a gap here from Sunday the 19th right through to Wednesday the 29th with no real recommendations. The surf is there, but it’s small and the wind just isn’t playing ball for any decent sessions. You’ll be scratching for a ride.
The real story starts to build late in the month. Mark your calendars for Thursday the 30th of July. That morning, the conditions finally lock in. We’ve got a clean, glassy morning on the cards with a solid 6 ft swell from the SSE. The combined energy is pumping at 429 (moderate-strong), and with the wind dead calm, it’s going to be pristine. This is a standout – the best on offer for the whole period. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there, just comfortable.
The following day, Friday the 31st, the morning session is also looking tidy with a glassy 3 ft from the SE, but the period jumps to 11 seconds, which gives it a bit more grunt and shape. Energy is still solid at 202. This is a good one, but it’s not quite the standout that Thursday was.
Looking further ahead into the first week of August, Saturday the 1st starts with a glassy 2 ft from the SSE and a nice 12-second period – clean and fun for the early birds. The combined energy is 228, which is decent. By Sunday the 2nd, the swell picks up to 3 ft from the SE with a very long 16-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, but with a cross-on wind, it’s not going to be as clean as the earlier days. The energy is strong at 512, but the wind is a bit of a spoiler. Monday the 3rd of August wraps it up with a glassy 2 ft from the SSE and a 13-second period, perfect for a cruisy session if you’re not fussed about size.
Matinhos is a point break, exposed to the south swell, so it’s going to handle that SSE groundswell well. It’s very consistent, and crowds are often around, so expect company on the good days. The best call is definitely Thursday the 30th of July – that’s the one you don’t want to miss.
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.
