The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down in feet and Fahrenheit.
First off, the first week or so is a bit of a dud. From the 22nd through the 24th, we’ve got small, messy, onshore slop. The wind is cross or cross-on, the swell is weak and short-period. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, so nothin’ wild there.
The first real chance comes on Saturday the 25th in the morning. We get a 4ft SE swell, but the wind goes glassy out of the west. That’s a clean look. The energy’s moderate (276). The afternoon gets a bit choppy, so hit it early. Sunday the 26th morning is similar – glassy again with a 3ft SE swell (207 energy). Small but clean.
Then we hit a bit of a flat spell. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th have glassy mornings, but the swell is only around 3ft with weak energy (133-129). Surfable but nothin’ to write home about.
Now, the first week of August is where the real action is. Saturday the 1st of August morning kicks off with a 7ft E swell, light cross-off wind, and very good conditions. The energy jumps to 514 – a solid pulse. The afternoon goes glassy with a 8ft E swell and 717 energy. That’s the standout of the whole run. Matinhos is a point break, so it’ll handle that east swell beautifully, and with glassy conditions, it’s gonna be clean and fun. Best on offer. Sunday the 2nd of August stays good – morning glassy with a 6ft ESE swell (627 energy), and afternoon glassy with the same size (591 energy). Two solid days.
For the big boys, look to Tuesday the 4th of August. That morning, it’s glassy again, with a 7ft ESE swell and a very long period of 12 seconds. The energy is massive – 1119 – that’s strong wave energy. This is for experienced surfers only, as it’s over 5ft. The long period means well-shaped waves with long gaps between sets. The point break setup at Matinhos will be the place to be. Wednesday the 5th morning is still good with a 6ft ESE swell (985 energy) and glassy conditions, and Thursday the 6th morning is the top of the heap: glassy, 7ft SE swell, 14-second period, and a huge 3072 energy. That’s expert territory, and it’s clean. The only caveat is that long period south-east swell can be a bit straight at some spots, but on a point, it’s a dream.
So, first week is a slow start, but from the 1st of August onwards, Matinhos is the place. The best days for the average surfer are Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd. For the experts, Tuesday the 4th and Thursday the 6th are the ones.

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.
