The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking at Matinhos for the next couple of weeks in feet and Fahrenheit.
Right off the bat, the first nine or ten days are flat and frustrating. There’s next to no push in the water, with combined energy readings mostly in the weak range, and the winds are mostly onshore or cross-off, not helping. It’s a slow, sleepy start.
The one session that jumps out as the real winner is the morning of Thursday, August 6th. The water is a warm 67°F, which is a bit toastier than usual for this time of year. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the SSE, with a very long 14-second period – that’s real groundswell with some grunt. The combined swell energy is a strong 1354. Best of all, it’s glassy, no wind at all. That’s going to mean clean, powerful, lined-up waves. At this size it’s best left to the experienced crew; beginners should sit this one out. With such a long period, Matinhos being a point break, those waves are going to hold their shape and give you nice, long rides.
Leading into that, on the morning of Wednesday, August 5th, we see it building with 4ft from the SSE and a 14-second period, but the cross-onshore breeze from the ENE at 6 mph is going to rough up the surface a bit.
After the big Thursday, the weekend cleans up nicely. The morning of Saturday, August 8th brings 4ft from the SE with a 12-second period, and a light north wind making it cross-off – clean, fun, and much more manageable. The energy is moderate at 416. Sunday morning the 9th is also clean, but dropping to about 3ft. The tail end of the outlook fades into glassy knee-high leftovers.
So, the verdict: the first week is a bust, but hold out for Thursday the 6th. That’s the one.
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.
