The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s in store for us here, folks.
First thing to say is that Matinhos is a consistent point break, and it’s exposed to the south swell. We’ve got a fair bit of time to wait before the real action kicks off. The water is sitting at 69°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a bit of a treat.
The start of this period is a right-off, I’m not going to sugarcoat it. From Friday the 31st through to the 8th of August, it’s mostly poor surf and weak conditions. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions, like Saturday the 1st and Tuesday the 4th, but the swell is tiny – under 3 ft – and the energy is weak (46 to 101). Not worth paddling out for.
Things start to perk up on Sunday the 9th of August. Sunday morning is the first real standout. We’ve got a clean, glassy window with a 3 ft SSE groundswell rolling in. The period is a very long 15 seconds, and combined energy is a solid 321. That long period will produce proper lines at this point, but get there early for cleanest conditions. Crowds are often here, so it could be a bit busy. Afternoon turns a bit messy.
Monday the 10th looks marginal with a cross wind, but don’t write off Tuesday the 11th of August. Tuesday morning is clean again, with a cross-off wind and a 3 ft SE groundswell at 14 seconds. Energy is 289. It’s a good, solid option for a morning session.
Then we hit another quiet patch until Friday the 14th of August. That Friday morning is a cracker – glassy, with a 4 ft SE groundswell at 11 seconds and energy of 302. That one has proper potential. Saturday the 15th morning is also glassy with the same size swell at 4 ft and energy of 214. Two good mornings in a row after a long quiet spell.
If I had to pick the best of the lot, it’s Sunday the 9th of August morning for that very long period groundswell and glass, and Friday the 14th of August morning for the clean conditions and solid 4 ft. Both are worth setting the alarm for.
Signing off, 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.
