Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break this down for Matinhos over the next couple of weeks. I’m gonna use feet, miles per hour, and Fahrenheit.
First off, the water temp is about 66.7°, which is standard for this time of year. Nothing unusual.
The first few days are a total bummer. Tuesday morning is small, with a cross-onshore wind at 9 mph, a 4ft SSE swell, and combined energy of 287. Not worth suiting up. That limp pattern sticks around through Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday with tiny waves and mostly choppy or marginal conditions. There’s a glimmer on Wednesday morning with glassy wind and a 2.3ft SE swell (period 9 seconds, combined energy 127), but the waves are just ordinary. Not your day.
The real standout window is Saturday morning, July 11th. Matinhos lights up with a 2.6ft ESE swell running at a clean 13-second period, delivering a combined energy of 339. The wind is glassy from the north, and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” That swell direction matches the optimum southerly for this point break, and with that long-period groundswell, you’ll get proper lines. Crowds are likely, but it’ll be worth it.
Sunday morning the 12th is another decent call. Glassy again with a NW wind, a 3ft SE swell, 12-second period, and combined energy of 246. Not as strong as Saturday, but still clean. The afternoon gets wrecked by cross-onshore winds.
After that, we hit a real dry spell. From Monday the 13th through the 20th, the swell drops off hard. The wind is mostly onshore or light, and the combined energy hangs between 43 and 105. The period is short, and the surf quality is consistently “poor” or “very ordinary.” There’s nothing worth chasing for days.
We get a slight pulse around Tuesday, July 21st: a 3.3ft east swell, period 8 seconds, with combined energy hitting 145 in the morning and 160 in the afternoon. The wind is glassy both sessions, and the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the best of the second week, but it’s still nothing special.
Bottom line: Saturday morning the 11th is the one to aim for. Glassy, clean, and the best energy of the outlook. Sunday morning is a solid backup. The rest of the 16 days is mostly flat or funky, with a long gap from the 13th to the 20th where you’re better off doing something else.

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.
