The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Matinhos over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty flat and quiet run. The first real surf recommendation doesn’t show up until Monday morning the 20th of July, and even then it’s small. We’re looking at a very ordinary stretch of tiny swell with weak energy (106) and short 8 second periods. The water is sitting at 67°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing crazy, but noticeable when you’re in the lineup.
The standout window, and I mean the only real standout, is shaping up for Sunday the 26th of July. That morning, we’ve got the best combo of the whole forecast. The swell picks up to 4 ft from the SE with a slightly longer period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 278 (moderate). The wind is a light WNW breeze, which is offshore for Matinhos (a point break), and it’s going to be clean. That’s the session to aim for. The afternoon holds similar size but the wind switches onshore, so don’t expect the same quality.
Before that, Saturday the 25th of July morning is glassy – zero wind – with a 4 ft SE swell. The energy is moderate (180), and while it’s surfable, the conditions are just “very ordinary.” It’s a decent option if you’re desperate, but it’s not the standout.
After that Sunday, it fades back into small, weak stuff. Wednesday the 29th of July morning has a clean 3 ft with a light cross-off breeze, but it’s tiny. The following week into early August is mostly flat, with barely any energy (values in the 70s and 80s) and short period swell. A few glassy mornings pop up, like Monday the 3rd of August, but the waves are just too small to get excited about.
Overall, if you can make it out on Sunday the 26th of July morning, that’s your best bet. The rest of the 16 days is a lot of waiting for something to happen.
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.
