The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s run through it in feet and degrees.

Pretty quiet outlook for the next couple of weeks, with nothing much to write home about for the first few days. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.

First real chance comes on Friday, the 24th of July. Friday morning at Matinhos has a 4ft swell from the SSE, with a 9-second period and moderate energy at 244. The wind is cross-shore, so not ideal. The window is Friday afternoon – the wind goes glassy, the swell is a clean 4ft from the SSE, and energy is still solid at 228. That’s your best bet for the near term. Clean, glassy, fun little waves.

Saturday the 25th has a morning offshore breeze from the NNW, with a 4ft SE swell, energy drops to 198. It’s surfable, but nothing special. Sunday the 26th starts glassy with a 3ft SE swell, energy at 180. Ordinary.

After that, it’s a long gap until the 5th of August. On Wednesday morning, the 5th of August, we get a nice spike – 4ft from the SSE, with a long 12-second period and energy jumping to 367. The wind is glassy. That’s the best looking swell of the whole run. The long period means good shape and power, but at a beach break like Matinhos, it might run a bit straight. For a point break, that’s perfect. It’s a week and a half out, so don’t lock it in yet, but it’s promising.

The rest of the days are small, choppy, or poor. Beginners should watch out for the 4ft stuff on Friday – that’s intermediate territory. Crowds are often at Matinhos, so expect company on the better 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.

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.
