Table - best surf conditions forecast for Matinhos over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a rough start. Monday the 13th morning has some swell coming through at about 5 feet from the SSE but the wind is cross-on from the south at 9 mph, and the whole thing just looks messy with poor surf conditions. That afternoon picks up to around 6 feet but the wind is still onshore, and the word is marginal. It’s not really calling us in.
Tuesday the 14th is where things start to turn. That morning we see about 4 feet from the SE with a 10-second period and glassy conditions from a light SW wind. Wave energy is moderate, and the report says expect good surf. This is a decent little window – clean, manageable, and with that point break setup at Matinhos, it could be a nice session for intermediate surfers. Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Wednesday the 15th morning also looks clean – about 5 feet SE at 10 seconds, glassy from a light northerly. Another solid morning. Thursday the 16th morning is also glassy with about 4 feet from the ESE, 11-second period. That’s three mornings in a row with glassy conditions and surf around chest to head high. That’s the best run in the whole forecast.
After Thursday, the swell drops off. Friday the 17th morning is glassy but only about 3 feet, and by Saturday and Sunday we’re down into small, weak waves with energy in the low hundreds. There’s a gap of several days from late Friday the 17th through to around Wednesday the 23rd where the surf is small and ordinary, not really worth getting excited about. The wind is offshore or light on some mornings, but the swell just isn’t there.
We do get a spike later. On Saturday the 25th morning, a new SSE swell bumps up to about 4 feet with a short 8-second period, but the wind is glassy. That’s a hopeful sign. Then on Sunday the 26th, the swell jumps to about 5 feet from the SE with a very long 16-second period, and energy cranks up – that’s strong. But the wind is cross-on from the SSE at 9 mph, and it’s described as marginal. That long period groundswell is usually better for point breaks and reefs, but Matinhos is a point, so it could still hold. But with that wind, it’s not going to be as clean as we’d like.
The real standout is Monday the 27th morning. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got about 3 feet from the SE at a long 13-second period, glassy conditions from a light SE wind, and solid wave energy. The report says “expect very good surf conditions” and it scores the highest in the whole forecast. That morning is the pick of the lot. The Monday afternoon also looks clean with about 3 feet from the SE at 12 seconds, but the morning is the winner.
So, honestly, the next few days have some clean, fun morning sessions up until Thursday the 16th. Then there’s a dry spell until the 25th, and a bit of a mixed bag on the weekend. But if you can wait until Monday the 27th, that morning at Matinhos looks like the best we’ve got – long period groundswell, glassy, clean, and just a lovely session waiting to happen.
Stay stoked.
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.
