Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu at Matinhos.
Right off the bat, things are a bit of a mess. We’re starting with some small, crumbly waves and choppy winds. The first few days are pretty grim, with poor surf conditions and next to no usable swell. We’re looking at a real patience test through the first week.
Things finally start to come together on Saturday, July 5th. The wind goes glassy and the swell, while still small at around 3ft to 4ft, starts to look a lot cleaner. The energy is moderate, and that long period of 11 to 13 seconds means there’s some proper groundswell in the water. This is the first real glimpse of something worthwhile.
The real standout, and the one I’m most excited about, is the stretch from Saturday, July 12th, through the following week. A few sessions here are absolute gems. The morning of Monday, July 14th is a treat: glassy conditions with a clean 4ft SE swell, a solid 11-second period, and moderate energy. That’s a proper, fun little wave.
But the absolute best of the forecast is on Thursday, July 16th, in the morning. We’re talking a solid 5ft swell from the SSE with a long 12-second period, pushing very strong energy. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW, keeping it clean. That is the session to circle. For the experienced surfer, that’s the pick of the bunch. The following Saturday, July 18th, morning is also a cracker: glassy, 4ft of SE swell with a very long 16-second period and strong energy. That’s a smooth, powerful groundswell. Keep it in mind.
The water is sitting right around 67°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year here.
Matinhos is a very consistent point break, and it’s exposed to the S. The best early calls (July 5-6) are fairly reliable; the bigger, cleaner stuff on July 16 and 18 is further out, so it’s a promising setup but less certain until we get closer. Just remember, this spot can get busy, so for those glassy sessions, be ready to share the lineup.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
