The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cookin' at Matinhos.
Honestly, the first part of this forecast is a total washout. From Saturday the 12th all the way through to the 21st, it's mostly onshore slop and weak, choppy waves. You’re looking at a solid week-plus of nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is junk and the wave quality is poor.
There are a couple of tiny glimmers. On the morning of the 17th and 18th, we get glassy conditions with little 0.5 to 0.8m waves, but they're weak and small. Just a clean ankle-snapper for the longboard.
Now, the real story starts on Thursday the 24th. The morning goes glassy and we get a 1.0m SSE groundswell with a 13-second period. The energy in the water is moderate (378). That longer period is a treat for a point break like this – it'll wrap around and set up nicely.
But the clear winner is Friday the 25th. The morning session is a gem. Clean, light offshore wind from the north at just 3 mph, and a 1.1m SE swell with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is strong at 555. This is a serious, powerful groundswell. This is for experienced surfers only – that kind of period and punch will jack up the point. Conditions should be nearly perfect.
The mornings of Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th are also worth it. Glassy conditions return, with 0.7m to 0.9m long-period swell and clean faces. It’s a bit smaller, but still a very fun, crowd-friendly wave.
So here’s the takeaway: the first 12 days are a no-go. The absolute standout is Friday the 25th morning. The 24th and 27th are your solid backup days.
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.
