The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s headed our way for Matinhos over the next couple of weeks.
The first few days are a write-off, I’m not gonna lie. Thursday and Friday have some tiny 2ft swell from the east, but the conditions are just poor – nothing to get excited about. We’re looking at a real slow start, with no decent surf on offer until the weekend.
Now, Saturday morning the 8th of August is where things get interesting. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the SSE, but the real story here is the period: 16 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is moderate (589). The wind is glassy, dead calm, so the surface will be like a mirror. This is your standout session for the first week. Keep in mind that long-period swell like this can be a bit straight at the beach, but at a point break like Matinhos, it should wrap in nicely. The water is 69°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, a solid 4° above average.
The rest of the weekend and into Monday gets messy. The wind turns onshore and choppy with the swell building to 4ft and 5ft, but the quality drops off. It’s not worth paddling out for.
The next real highlight doesn’t come until the 18th of August. Tuesday morning brings a clean 6ft swell from the ESE, with glassy conditions again. The energy is strong (681), and the period is a solid 10 seconds. This is a big, powerful swell. In the afternoon, the wind goes offshore from the NW at 15 km/h, making for some clean, rippable waves. This is your second standout window, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.
Towards the end of the run, Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th have some smaller, cleaner windows, but nothing that’ll blow your mind. The 19th has a clean 4ft morning session, and the 20th has a glassy 2ft morning, but it’s more of a longboard or cruiser day.
All in all, the best bets are the glassy Saturday morning of the 8th of August with that long-period groundswell, and the solid Tuesday sessions on the 18th of August. The rest is a mix of onshore chop and waiting for the next pulse.
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.
