The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again with the Matinhos lowdown in feet and miles per hour. The next couple of weeks are mostly a bust, but there are a couple of moments worth your time. Water temp is around 68°, which feels a touch warmer than usual for the season.
Friday the 24th shows a small pulse at 4ft from the SSE, but with a light cross-onshore wind and moderate energy (255). It’s marginal – don’t bother.
Saturday the 25th morning is your early winner. Swell is 4ft from the SE with a glassy wind from the W. The energy is moderate (189). The waves are ordinary, but that clean, flat surface makes it rideable. That’s the best of the first batch.
Sunday the 26th morning is clean with a light offshore from the NNW, but only 3ft from the SE with a short period. Moderate energy (174). Weak stuff.
Then it goes quiet. From Sunday afternoon through to the end of July and into the first week of August, you’re looking at a long flat spell – about 10 days with nothing worth paddling for. Just small junk.
Things perk up Monday the 3rd of August. The morning has a 2ft groundswell from the SE with a long 13-second period. Combined energy is moderate (134). The wind is glassy from the N. It’s small, but that long period will give the point a little shape.
Tuesday the 4th morning is glassy again with 2ft from the SE. Energy is weak (76). Another tiny day.
The real highlight is Saturday the 8th of August, morning. Swell comes up to 4ft from the SSE, with an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate (264). Wind is glassy from the NE. The forecast calls for good surf conditions. Matinhos is a consistent point break that likes swell from the S, so this SSE pulse is right on. For the whole outlook, this is your session. Conditions are clean and easy.
For beginners, the size is fine – under 5ft. Crowds are often on days like this, so it’ll be busy.
Saturday afternoon fades with 3ft from the E and cross-on wind. Not good.
Bottom line: mostly dry and flat for a week and a half, but mark the morning of August the 8th for a glassy, clean session at Matinhos.
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.
