The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the local scene. We’ve got a bit of a flat spell to kick things off, so don’t rush to grab your board just yet. The first real session worth looking at won't be until Saturday, July 26th, so there's a good week and a half of barely any surf to sit through. After that, things get a little more interesting, but we’re picking through some pretty ordinary days.
The standout window is that Saturday, July 26th into the next morning. The pick of the bunch is Matinhos, a point break that’s very consistent. On Saturday afternoon, we’re looking at a 4 ft swell from the SE. The energy is jumping up noticeably – we’re reading a moderate 542 (combined energy) there, which is the most juice we’ll see in this whole run. But the real beauty is the Sunday morning session on the 27th. The wind goes completely glassy with a clean 3 ft swell from the SSE. That’s the kind of morning you set an alarm for. The water temp is sitting around 65°, which is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit will be fine.
Before that, the rest of the week is mostly wind-affected, small, or just plain messy. The 25th has a bit of size but the wind is onshore or cross, making it choppy. The 26th is the first real green light, and even then, the morning is the only clean window. The following week drops off again into small, weak, short-period wind swell that’s not worth the paddle out.
If you’re a beginner, keep an eye on the glassy Sunday morning – the 3 ft swell is totally manageable. The bigger Saturday afternoon 4 ft is still okay for an intermediate, but it’s not big enough to worry about.
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.
