The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the next couple of weeks for Matinhos. It’s a point break, very consistent, and it’s exposed to the south swell. We’re in for a bit of a slow start, so don’t be in a rush. The water’s sittin’ right on average for the time of year at 65°F.
The first few days are a write-off. Monday the 13th has a bit of a lumpy 6ft SSE swell, but it’s onshore, messy, and the energy is weak at 774. Tuesday and Wednesday are similar – small, cross or onshore wind, barely worth paddling out for. The combined energy drops to around 300-360, which is weak.
We see a glimmer on Wednesday morning the 15th – 4ft from the ESE with glassy conditions. The swell is short period at 10 seconds, but the clean surface is a major plus. Thursday morning the 16th is the same story: 4ft ESE swell, glassy, perfect for a quiet session. The energy is weak at 251, but it’s clean. These are the best of the early week, but nothing to get worked up about.
The real standout comes much later. Sunday the 26th of July is the one to mark on the calendar. Sunday afternoon hits with 5ft from the east, glassy as a mirror, and the combined energy jumps to 512 – moderate, but feels solid. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a bit short, but that clean glassy surface will make it look like a postcard. This is the pick of the whole run. The morning of the 26th is also good at 5ft and glassy, with 417 energy.
Monday the 27th morning holds up at 5ft from the ESE with clean conditions and 336 energy, but it’s not as good as the Sunday. Tuesday the 28th morning is back to glassy, 4ft from the east, energy 280. It’s a solid morning session but nothing compared to that Sunday.
So, if you’re keen, wait for the 26th. That Sunday glass-off is the best we’ve got. The other days are small and clean enough for a longboard, but that Sunday is the one where you’ll be smiling.
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.
