The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming.
It’s a slow start, no two ways about it. The first few days are pretty much a write-off for a decent paddle. We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The good news is that things start to clean up around Thursday the 17th, and there’s a nice run of mornings that look really promising.
The first real standout window kicks off on Thursday morning, September 17th. Matinhos is the spot. We’re looking at a 4ft swell coming out of the SSE. The period is a nice long 11 seconds, which is proper groundswell, meaning it’ll have some real push and shape to it. The combined energy is moderate at 345, so there’s enough grunt in the water. The absolute winner here is the wind – it’s glassy, dead calm. That means clean, smooth faces. This is your morning session. The swell direction from the SSE matches up well with what this break likes.
We get another strong contender the following weekend. Saturday morning, September 19th is looking prime. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the east, with an 8-second period. The combined energy is solid at 253. We’ve got light offshore winds from the NNE, making for clean, lined-up waves. The wind is light and cross-offshore, which is a major positive. The Sunday morning, September 20th is almost identical, with 5ft east swell, glassy conditions from the NNW, and energy reading at 309. It’s a real treat.
Jumping ahead to the second week, Saturday morning, September 27th is worth circling on the calendar. The swell is 4ft from the SE, 8-second period, and combined energy is 282. The wind is glassy from the NNW. That’s a recipe for clean, fun waves.
Monday morning, September 28th also looks good, with 4ft from the ESE, a 9-second period, and glassy winds from the SW. Combined energy is 276. It’s another clean morning session to finish the forecast period.
The water temp at the start of the forecast for Matinhos is 71°, which is 5° warmer than the long-term average. That’s much warmer than normal, so you might not need the thickest suit.
So, overall, don’t bother paddling out until the 17th. Then, the early morning sessions on the 17th, 19th, 20th, 27th, and 28th are the ones to aim for. The crowd factor is listed as "often" here, so don't expect to have the place to yourself on those clean days.
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.
