The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the next 16 days for our local zone. We've got a bit of a mixed bag coming up, but there are some definite windows of opportunity if you're keen to paddle out.
The water's sitting at a warm 70°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's well above average, so you might not even need a full wetsuit. The best spot to chase waves is going to be Matinhos (point). It's a very consistent, exposed point break that likes a south swell, and it's our standout option.
For the first few days, we're looking at some small but clean conditions. Wednesday morning of the 12th is a good one to start with – glassy conditions with light west wind, a 4 ft swell from the southeast at 12 seconds, and moderate wave energy (345). It's small, but it'll be clean and fun. Thursday morning the 13th is even better for the early session: glassy, calm wind, and a nice 3 ft, long-period 15-second swell from the south-southeast. That long period gives it a bit more push, and the energy is moderate (435). The afternoon on Thursday turns choppy as the south wind picks up, so morning is the move.
Friday morning the 14th is glassy again but the swell drops to 2 ft with weak energy (171). Saturday morning the 15th brings a bit more size back at 4 ft from the southeast, with a nice cross-off wind and clean conditions. The energy is moderate (387). Sunday the 16th is glassy in the morning but the swell is only 3 ft from the east-southeast with a short 8-second period, making it weak (151).
Monday the 17th is a standout morning: glassy, 4 ft swell from the east-southeast, and a bit more energy (229). It's still a short period, but it'll be clean glass. After that, the wind turns messy, and we hit a rough patch. From Tuesday the 18th through to the end of the window, the conditions get pretty poor for surfing. Onshore winds, chop, and small swell dominate. There's a blip on the 26th with a big 5 ft, 16-second swell from the south-southeast and very strong energy (1205), but it's accompanied by heavy rain and strong onshore winds, making it a no-go for surfing. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle.
Overall, the best bet is to focus on the mornings from the 12th through the 17th, especially Thursday the 13th and Monday the 17th. After that, it's a long gap of poor conditions.
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.
