Table - best surf conditions forecast for Matinhos over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s cut through it. We've got a slow start and a couple of clean windows ahead. Water’s running about 4°F warmer than normal, so it’s warm out there.
For the first few days, it’s a write-off. Tuesday's got small, weak waves with bad wind. Wednesday and Thursday have cleaner mornings, but the swell is tiny. It's a "just to get wet" kind of surf.
The weekend is rough. Onshore winds and lumpy, weak swell from Saturday through Monday. Not worth the effort.
Now, for the good stuff. Tuesday, September 15th is your first real standout. Morning is glassy with light offshore wind and a head-high swell (about 6ft) from the ESE. The energy is strong (468). This is the best window in the first week, though a bit much for beginners.
After that, things go flat and messy for a stretch.
Then look ahead to Saturday, September 20th. Another morning standout. Clean, glassy conditions with a 5ft E swell. Wind is dead, so it’ll be smooth. This is a great window for a long session at Matinhos (Paraná). This point break is very consistent, and the clean conditions will bring a few people out, but it’s worth dealing with.
After that, the following week looks quiet and messy again. There’s a longer-period swell due around Tuesday the 22nd, but it’s cross-shore and rainy, so not clean.
Your best bets are the mornings of the 15th and the 20th. Don’t waste your energy on the rest. Get out when it’s clean.
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.
