The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Matinhos. This is a solid point break setup, very consistent, and it’s got a good lean to the south swell window. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a definite standout day coming that’s got me excited.

The water temperature here is running 68°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a little extra comfort.

The overall pattern kicks off quiet. We’ve got a few days of small, poor surf to start with – Wednesday the 22nd only has 2ft of weak, short-period E swell, with a cross breeze. That’s a no-go. Thursday the 23rd is glassy but still tiny. The real wait is for the first proper pulse.

Friday the 24th is the only true standout in the whole window. That morning, we’ll see the combined energy jump to 465 (moderate) , with a 5ft S swell arriving. The wind is glassy – absolutely glassy. That’s gonna be clean, lined-up waves at Matinhos, especially with the swell direction matching the optimum S. This is the best on offer. The period is a short 8-9 seconds, so it’s more of a windswell pulse, but in glassy conditions, this point break will handle it well. It’s a sweet spot for intermediate surfers. Afternoon stays glassy with the same solid 5ft.

Saturday the 25th still has some 3ft SE swell, but the wind swings cross-off in the morning, and then cross-on in the afternoon. It’s surfable but ordinary. Sunday the 26th through to the end of July is a real lull – tiny waves, cross-shore breezes, and mostly poor surf conditions. Expect a long gap of small, uninspiring stuff.

We get a slight lift on Saturday, August 1st, with a 4ft E swell and glassy conditions in the morning, but it’s still ordinary. The next point of interest is Sunday, August 2nd afternoon, when the energy bumps up to 226 (moderate) with a 4ft S swell and glassy wind. That’s worth a mention, but it’s not the same quality as the 24th. The period is only 6 seconds, so it’s short and a bit bumpy, but glassy cleans it up.

After that, the rest of the first week of August is a mix of small, messy, and ordinary. Nothing to write home about. The 16-day window fades out with small, poor surf.

So, if you’re looking for the one session to pencil in, it’s Friday the 24th of July. That morning glass, combined with 5ft of S swell and moderate energy, is your best bet. Crowds are often here, so get there early.

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.
