The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the situation for Matinhos over the next couple of weeks.
First off, the water is sitting at 69°F – that’s 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’re looking at seriously comfortable conditions, maybe a spring suit or even just a rash guard.
The forecast starts off pretty bleak. Friday the 7th is a write-off with rain showers, a weak onshore SSE wind, and a tiny 2ft easterly windswell. The combined energy is a measly 91 (just a whisper). Not worth paddling out for.
Things finally start to look up on Saturday morning, the 8th. We’ve got a clean 3ft SSE swell with a nice 11-second period pushing in. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the north, so the surface should be tidy. The energy jumps to 386 (moderate), and it’s a solid option for a Saturday session. The afternoon is a bit more mixed with a cross-shore breeze, but the swell holds.
Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th aren’t great. The wind swings onshore, the swell builds a bit to 4ft–5ft, but the chop kills it. Energy is up to 573 and 725, but it’s messy – more of a kitesurfing setup than a clean paddle session.
Tuesday the 11th through Thursday the 13th mornings see a bit of a recovery. The wind goes light and cross-shore or glassy, with swell around 3ft–4ft from the SSE. Energy is around 345–445 (moderate). Wednesday morning the 12th and Thursday morning the 13th both have glassy conditions, which is a real treat. The swell is a bit small, but clean.
Now, the real standout for the whole window is Friday the 21st of August. Mark that date. The morning is absolutely glassy with a clean 5ft SSE groundswell running at 11 seconds. The combined energy hits 652 (moderate to strong). This is the best on offer – clean, solid, and with that long-period energy for proper shaped waves. It’s a point break here, so it’ll handle that long-period swell beautifully. The wind is dead calm, dead offshore. This is a session to plan around. The afternoon is still good but gets a touch of cross-onshore wind.
The following morning, Saturday the 22nd, is also glassy with a 4ft SSE swell and 11-second period – a good follow-up session, but not quite the peak of Friday.
There’s a big gap of poor conditions from the 9th to the 13th, with only short windows of clean surf. But once we hit that 21st, it’s worth the wait.
Hang in there, wait for that Friday the 21st.
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.
