The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Matinhos. This is a point break that’s very consistent and exposed to southerly swells, which is what it wants. The water is sitting at 69°F right now, which is a notable 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – feel that when you paddle out.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell. From now through the end of July, it’s a write-off. Tiny swell, poor conditions, nothing to get excited about. We’re looking at a gap of several days with no real recommendations.
The first glimmer comes on Saturday, August 1st. The morning’s looking glassy with a light NW breeze, and we’ve got a little 3ft push from the east. The energy is weak (88), but it’s surfable – just ordinary. Don’t get your hopes up too high.
Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are much the same story. Small, weak east swell, with some glassy windows in the mornings. Still, it’s more of a knee-to-waist high session for the patient. The energy remains low.
Then things start to get interesting. The first standout is the morning of Monday, August 10th. It’s still a week and a half away, so keep that in mind. We’ve got a clean 5ft SSE swell rolling in with glassy conditions and no wind. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 236. This is the best on offer for the whole period – a proper point break wave with that southerly direction working well. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and fun. The afternoon gets onshore, so hit it early.
The following morning, Tuesday the 11th, still has some size, with a 4ft SE swell, but the wind is a cross-shore 9 mph from the SSW, and the energy is strong (272). The conditions are marginal, with a bit of chop. It’s still surfable for the keen, but not as clean as Monday.
After that, it fades again into smaller, onshore junk for the rest of the second week. A few knee-high pulses with poor winds, nothing to make a plan for. The 13th has a tiny 1ft SSE swell with a long 13-second period, but it’s onshore and messy.
So, bottom line: the first week is a dud. The real window is Monday morning, August 10th. That’s your standout. Clean, glassy, waist-to-chest high waves on a point break. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
