The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's coming our way for Matinhos. This is a point break that's very consistent and exposed to the south. The water's sitting at about average for this time of year, so nothing to fuss about there.
The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a few windows of real promise. Saturday the 22nd starts off with a treat – a 4ft SSE swell with a 10-second period and glassy conditions. The combined energy is solid, sitting at 324, and with no wind, it's going to be clean as a whistle. That's your best bet for the first few days, no doubt. The afternoon turns a bit messy with a cross-onshore breeze, so get on it early.
Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th are a write-off for quality, with onshore winds and choppy conditions. The swell on Monday bumps up to 5ft with a long 14-second period (combined energy 896), but that cross-onshore wind will just chop it up, making it a frustrating paddle for not much reward.
Now, things get interesting from Tuesday the 25th through to Thursday the 27th. We've got a series of mornings with glassy conditions and building swell. Tuesday morning delivers a clean 3ft SSE groundswell (374 combined energy). Wednesday the 26th is a standout – a 4ft SE swell with a very long 16-second period and glassy conditions, pumping out 748 combined energy. That's proper groundswell, and on a point break like Matinhos, it’s going to produce some beautifully shaped, powerful lines. Thursday morning is also looking sweet with a 4ft swell, glassy, and 548 energy. Get on it early; the afternoons get blown out by onshore breezes.
There's a bit of a lull from Friday the 28th through Monday the 1st of September. The swell drops in size and period, and the winds are unreliable, with only a few glassy windows producing small, ordinary waves. The energy drops right off, staying below 300. It's not a complete flat spell, but it’s nothing to get excited about.
Look ahead to Tuesday the 1st of September, and we see a brief reprieve with a clean, cross-offshore wind and a 3ft ESE swell, giving us 205 energy. It’s small but clean.
The real gem in the long-range is Thursday the 3rd of September. The morning shows a 3ft SE groundswell with a 14-second period and clean cross-offshore wind, giving us 361 energy. That's a promising setup for a point break. The following morning, Friday the 4th, also starts glassy with a 3ft SSE swell. These are ones to keep an eye on, but we're talking about a week and a half away, so don't lock in your plans just yet.
Overall, the standout windows are the mornings of Saturday the 22nd, Wednesday the 26th, and Thursday the 27th. For the long-range crew, Thursday the 3rd of September is the one that sparks the most hope.

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.
