Table - best surf conditions forecast for Matinhos over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Things are quiet out there right now. The first few days through the 4th of August offer pretty much nothing worth paddling out for – tiny, weak swell with poor shape and meager energy. We’ve got a real gap there. From the 5th, we start to see a little life, but it’s nothing to write home about until the second week.
Matinhos is a point break that’s very consistent and exposed to the south. Water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels good.
The first real standout doesn’t come until Wednesday the 12th of August. That morning, the wind is glassy, the swell is a clean 3 ft from the SSE with a nice long 13-second period, and the combined energy hits 362 – that’s a notable jump. The guidance says it’s best with swell from the south, and this is close enough. Expect good surf conditions. It’s a standout.
After that, Thursday the 13th looks marginal but still surfable in the morning, with a little cross-shore breeze and 4 ft SSE swell. Then Friday the 14th morning offers another good window – glassy again, 4 ft from the SSE, with 222 units of energy. Clean and promising.
Overall, the best surf is Wednesday the 12th and Friday the 14th mornings. Both mornings have glassy or near-glassy conditions, decent swell size, and that long-period energy that gives the waves some punch. The rest of the period is largely marginal or poor, so pick your moments.

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.
