Table - best surf conditions forecast for Matinhos over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Matinhos. The next 16 days are looking pretty ordinary for this point break. There’s a bit of a wait for anything that’s really worth paddling out for, but there are a couple of windows where it could clean up nicely.
The first real standout is shaping up for Saturday morning, 11th July. The swell is coming in from the SE at 2ft with a healthy 13-second period, which is a nice groundswell for a point like this. The wind is light from the N, blowing cross-offshore, which will keep the surface clean. The combined energy is moderate at 303 – it’s not going to be pumping, but it’ll be fun and lined up. The water temp is about normal for this time of year at 66°F.
Sunday, 12th July starts to get a bit messy. The swell pushes up to 3ft from the SE, period drops to 12 seconds, but the wind swings cross and then onshore, so the quality takes a hit. Not one to get excited about.
Monday, 13th July brings a jump in size to 5ft from the SSE, but the period crashes to just 8 seconds, and it’s accompanied by rain showers and onshore wind. That’s raw, short-period windswell – choppy and hard to enjoy. The energy is 379, which is moderate, but it’s not the kind of wave that’ll make you smile.
Tuesday, 14th July through to the end of the first week is mostly small, weak, and cross-onshore. The mornings are glassy but the swell is tiny – 3ft or less, with energy dropping below 200. Just not enough push.
The next real chance comes on Saturday, 18th July in the morning. The swell is 3ft from the E, period is short at 8 seconds, but the wind is glassy from the NNW. The energy is 105 – weak – but it’ll be tidy and clean. Not a standout, but a session for the log.
Sunday, 19th July morning is similar: glassy, 3ft from the E, short period. The energy is 107. It’s the same story – small, clean, and cruisy.
Monday, 20th July morning might be the pick of the second week. The swell holds at 3ft from the E, period 8 seconds, but the wind shifts to a light NNW cross-offshore. That’s clean again, and the energy is 115 – still weak, but the conditions are favourable.
The water temp stays around 66°F all through, about normal for the time of year. There’s nothing big here, no pumping swell, just a few morning windows with glassy or offshore wind that’ll make the most of what’s on offer. If you’re after a wave, aim for the 11th, or the 18th to 20th mornings. The rest is mostly poor.

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.
