The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Matinhos is serving up over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating run for most of this outlook. There’s a long gap at the start with nothing worthwhile. The first notable surf doesn’t show up until Tuesday morning, August 4th, and even then it’s barely a pulse. We’re talking small, weak energy, and the conditions are nothing to get excited about. You’ll be waiting a full week after that for the first real chance at something decent.
The standout session, and the one you should circle on your calendar, is Saturday morning, August 8th. The swell comes from the SE at 3ft, with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell, giving the waves some shape and push. The combined energy is moderate at 233, and with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, it’s going to be clean. No crowds mentioned, so you might have a bit of room. This is your best bet in the whole window. Matinhos is a point break, so that long-period SE swell should set up nicely.
Before that, on Friday morning, August 7th, there’s a jump in size to 5ft from the SSE, but the period is a short and weak 6 seconds. The energy is moderate at 199, and while the wind is glassy, that short period means the waves will be fat and unexciting. It’s surfable but very ordinary.
The second week looks pretty bleak. There’s an interesting pulse on Monday, August 10th, with a long 15-second period and strong energy (448 combined), but the wind is on it from the SSE and the surf is messy. That’s one to watch from the beach, but not to paddle out. The water temp is a notable 69°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
To be blunt, there’s a lot of flat, blown-out, or just plain poor surf here. If you’re desperate, the Saturday the 8th is the only day that might get your heart rate up.
Stay patient,
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.
