The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Matinhos over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and ordinary. There’s a big gap of poor conditions with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Saturday, August 1st, but even then it’s just a 3 ft wave from the east with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (115). The wind is glassy in the morning, which is nice, but the swell is tiny and weak. We’re looking at a long stretch of days with mostly poor surf and scores of zero, so don’t get your hopes up for the first week.

The real standout, the only one that gets my blood pumping, is Monday, August 10th. The morning is the pick of the entire forecast. The swell bumps up to 6 ft from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 386, which is moderate but still the best we’ll see. The wind is glassy, dead calm, and that’s a massive positive. The water temperature is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the water feels good. For a point break like Matinhos, that clean, glassy morning is going to be your ticket. The crowds are often here, so expect company, but for that window, it’s worth it.

Later that afternoon, the wind swings onshore and chops it up, so don’t sleep in. After that, the surf drops back down again. Tuesday morning, August 11th, has a 4 ft swell from the SE, but it’s short period and just ordinary.

So, the long and short of it: you’ve got a long wait, but the morning of Monday, August 10th is the one to circle on the calendar. Everything else is a washout.

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.
