The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown in feet and miles per hour.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Thursday, September 3rd. The morning is the one to aim for. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the SE, with a solid 11-second period, and the wind is a light offshore from the north. That’s a recipe for some fun, lined-up waves at Matinhos. The combined swell energy is sitting at 349 (moderate), so there’s some push to it. The water is sitting at 70°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be surfing in a t-shirt.
The morning of Friday the 4th is a real treat if you’re chasing a glassy session. The wind is dead calm, glassy, and the swell is a little smaller at 2ft from the SE, still with a nice 11-second period. It’s not going to be a big day, but the conditions will be pristine. The energy is a light 158 (weak), but for a cruisy, clean sesh, it’s a winner.
Now, look ahead to the 11th of September. The Friday morning glass-off is back. Winds turn offshore from the WSW (3 mph), and we’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the east, with a 9-second period. Good energy at 279 (moderate) and clean conditions. The weekend after that, the 12th of September, also looks promising. Both the morning and afternoon have clean, cross-offshore winds with a 4ft SSE swell. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and fun.
The standout session across the whole 16 days is definitely the Thursday morning, the 3rd. That 4ft SE groundswell with the offshore wind is the best quality wave on offer. The second best would be the glassy Friday morning on the 11th, which is a close second for the cleanest conditions.
The rest of the period is a mix of onshore junk, small bump, or poor conditions. There are no real blank gaps, but there are plenty of days where you’ll be better off doing something else.

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.
