The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for our local stretch.
The window opens up on Tuesday, 25 August with a solid run of surf that stretches through the rest of the week. The real standout is Wednesday, 26 August. That morning kicks off with a 4ft SE groundswell, a long 16-second period, and glassy conditions – the water is a balmy 70°, which is 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be comfy in a spring suit or less. The combined energy is strong at 720, and it’s just excellent. That afternoon sees a bump to 5ft, still SE and 15 seconds, with a clean cross-off breeze. Thursday morning keeps the quality high with another 4ft SE swell, 14 seconds, and dead calm glass. That’s your best bet for the week. Thursday afternoon turns cross-on, and from Friday onward the wind gets messy and the swell periods drop off significantly, so the quality nose-dives.
After that first week, things get pretty ordinary. There’s a long gap of poor or marginal conditions stretching from Friday 28 August all the way through to the end of the first week of September. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the energy drops into the weak range. There’s a brief glimmer on Wednesday 3 September morning with a glassy 4ft SE swell, period 10 seconds, and energy of 291, but it’s not a patch on that first week. The second week is thin and choppy.
The absolute standout is Matinhos itself, a point break that’s very consistent, exposed to the south, and gets its best direction from the south. Wednesday morning is the one to circle – clean, solid, long period groundswell, and the water is much warmer than average. Just be aware it can get crowded here often. The long 16-second period will make the sets more spaced out, which helps with paddling, but at a point break like Matinhos, that long period will wrap in nicely.
For the experts, Thursday afternoon kicks up a bit, but the cross-on wind spoils it. Overall, if you’re going to paddle out, make it Wednesday morning or Thursday morning.

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.
