The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week or so is looking pretty grim. We've got almost nothing but tiny, weak, and poorly organised surf from now until the end of July. That Tuesday morning cross-off stuff and those glassy periods might look nice on paper, but with swell heights barely hitting 2 ft and the energy sitting in the weak zone (45), there's just no push. Wednesday the 29th through to Tuesday the 4th of August is basically a write-off for any proper surfing. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won't be too chilly, but there's nothing worth paddling out for.
Now, mark your calendars. The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Tuesday, the 5th of August. It's not a world-beater, but things start to change. We get a clean, glassy morning at Matinhos (point), with a light SW breeze and a swell bumping up to 2 ft from the SSE. The energy jumps to a moderate 125, and with that glassy surface, it'll be the most user-friendly the wave has been in days.
But the real standout, the one I'd be eyeing off, is the morning of Tuesday the 5th of August. Wait, sorry, let me re-check. The best session in the whole 16-day run looks to be the morning of Tuesday, the 5th of August. It's not massive, but that 2 ft SSE swell with a 12-second period combined with glassy conditions and a light offshore breeze from the NNW will see Matinhos clean up nicely. The energy reading hits 219 – that's moderate and punchier than anything else we've seen. For a point break that likes a bit of S swell, this is your window. It won't be huge, but it'll be clean, fun, and the best on offer.
The other little spike worth mentioning is the morning of Monday the 11th of August. That's a 1 ft SSE swell with a very long period of 16 seconds, and it's glassy calm. The energy is moderate at 175, and while it's small, that long-period groundswell will wrap nicely around the point. Don't expect big barrels, but for a log or a mid-length, it'll be silky.
For the rest of the second week, there's a few more afternoons ruined by onshore breezes, but the mornings, especially on the 12th of August, offer similar small but clean conditions. It's not a classic run, and the consistency is spotty, but if you pick your mornings, there's some fun to be had.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
