The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the Matinhos area.
Honestly, the next week and a half are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long, flat stretch from now until the end of the first week of August. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and most of the time the wind is just messy. There’s nothing worth paddling out for. You’ll be staring at a lake.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday, August 4th. Tuesday morning at Matinhos we’ve got a glassy morning with a 2 ft swell from the SSE, period at 12 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (133), and the conditions are clean. It’s not gonna be a classic, but it’s surfable. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
The standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Tuesday, August 11th. The morning session at Matinhos is the pick of the whole forecast. We’re looking at a solid 8 ft swell from the SSE, period of 9 seconds, with a clean, cross-off wind from the NNW. The combined energy is cranked up to 1211 – that’s some serious power. This is serious wave energy. That’s a big, powerful wave. It’s not for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s going to be an absolute belter. Keep in mind, with that size, it’s experts only.
The next morning, Wednesday, August 12th, also has potential. A 4 ft swell from the SE with a long 14-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is still strong (1125). That long period groundswell will be better shaped at the point, but it might be a bit too straight for the beachies. Still, a very promising morning.
The week after that, Thursday, August 14th, has a nice little pulse on the Friday morning. A 2 ft swell from the SE with a very long 17-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is strong (627) and the forecast says “very good surf conditions.” This is a long-range call, so not as certain, but it’s worth keeping an eye on.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a dud. The middle of the second week is the real deal. Tuesday the 11th morning is your absolute best bet, followed by Wednesday the 12th morning. If you can wait, that’s the time to go.
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.
