The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks around Matinhos are mostly a write-off, but there’s one standout session worth circling on the calendar.
For the first week and more, we’re stuck in a flat spell with only tiny, weak, poorly-directed slop. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 68.0°, which is nice, but the surf ain’t. Swell energy sits at a limp 75 (weak) on Saturday the 1st with a short-period 3ft from the east and a cross-on breeze. That sets the tone. Mornings on Sunday the 2nd are glassy but still only 2.6ft – surfable but nothing to write home about. From Monday the 3rd through to Saturday the 8th, we’re stuck under 1.3ft to 2ft east energy, often with cleanish winds but just no meat on the bone. It’s a long, frustrating gap with basically nothing worth paddling for.
Things start to stir around Sunday the 9th with a pulse of 3.9ft south-southeast swell, but it’s cross-on and choppy – poor quality. Monday the 10th afternoon sees a jump to 7.2ft south-southeast, with combined energy hitting 634 (strong), but the period is a short 8 seconds and it’s cross-shore. At that size, it’s getting too big for beginners, and the quality is marginal at best.
Then we hit the real highlight. On the morning of Thursday the 14th of August, a solid south-southeast groundswell rolls in at 4.3ft with a long 13 second period, glassy conditions, and combined energy at 751 (very strong). The optimum direction from the southeast is a good match for this point break, and with the wind glassy, it’ll be clean and lined up. This is the one to aim for – expect very good surf conditions. Friday the 15th morning holds similar goodness with 3.3ft, 13 seconds, and glassy conditions, though a touch smaller. After that, the window closes again with cross-on breezes and shorter-period drops back to ordinary.
Crowds at Matinhos can pop up often, especially when the surf gets good, so expect some company on that standout Thursday. This point break is very consistent, so when it turns on, it turns on.
Stay patient, mate. That 14th is the one.

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.
