The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Matinhos over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a decent run of surf kicking off this Monday afternoon, the 24th of August. The water is sitting at 70°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a real treat if you’re getting in the water. The opening session sees a nice 4ft swell rolling in from the SSE, with a very long 15-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is sitting at a solid moderate 771. With glassy conditions and a light ESE breeze, it’s going to be clean. This is a point break, so that long period will wrap in nicely.

The standout of the whole outlook is Wednesday the 26th. The morning session kicks off with 4ft from the SE at 16 seconds, energy of 739, and it’s glassy. The afternoon gets even better: 5ft from the SE at 15 seconds, with energy jumping to 784. Still glassy. That’s the best combination of size, period, and clean conditions we’ll see.

Thursday the 27th morning is also worth a mention – 4ft, 14-second SE swell, glassy and clear skies. But the afternoon gets choppy as a cross-onshore breeze picks up, so make the most of the morning.

The end of the first week and start of the second week is a bit of a write-off. From Friday afternoon the 28th through to Thursday the 3rd of September, conditions are mostly poor with onshore and cross-onshore winds, and the swell drops to 2ft to 3ft. The energy levels are weak, sitting between 100 and 200. Not worth paddling for.

Things look a little more promising again on Friday the 4th of September. A 5ft swell from the SSE, but with a short period of only 7 seconds. The energy is moderate at 250, and the morning is glassy. It’s a bit of a windswell, so shapes won’t be as clean as the groundswell earlier in the run, but it’s surfable. Saturday the 5th is a mixed bag, and by Sunday the 6th, it’s mostly back to poor conditions.

The very end of the forecast, on Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th of September, shows a return to nicer conditions. Monday morning brings 3ft SE swell at 12 seconds, with glassy conditions and moderate energy of 328. The afternoon is similar, with a bit more energy at 423. The last day, Tuesday the 8th, is small and clean, but not much push.

So, to wrap it up: the best bet is Wednesday the 26th of August, with the afternoon session being the pick of the two. Monday the 24th afternoon and Thursday the 27th morning are also excellent. The long-range stuff on the 7th is promising but not as certain. Crowds are a possibility at Matinhos – it’s listed as “often” busy, so get there early for the cleanest waves.

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.
