The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for us over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – the first week is a bit of a write-off, so don’t rush to grab your board just yet. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak energy and poor conditions from today, the 28th of July, all the way through until the end of the month. The combined swell energy is mostly in the 30s and 50s, which is barely a whisper. It’s not until the 1st of August that we finally see a pulse of energy, but even then, it’s not much to write home about.
The real standout, the only one worth circling on the calendar, is Saturday the 8th of August at Matinhos. The morning session is your best bet. We’re looking at a clean 3.9 ft swell rolling in from the SSE, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the north. The wind will be light, keeping the surface clean. The combined energy jumps to 142 (moderate), which is the most we’ve seen all forecast. The afternoon holds up too, with 3.3 ft and clean conditions. This is a point break that’s very consistent, so you’ll find waves. Keep in mind, the water temp is about average for this time of year.
Before that, there’s a few other days that are *surfable* but not what you’d call good. The 4th of August has a glassy morning with 1.6 ft and a long 12-second period from the SE, giving it a bit of push (combined energy 116). The 11th of August (Tuesday morning) also has a clean 2.0 ft with a 12-second period (combined energy 161), but it’s a long way out and the long period can make a beach break a bit tricky – at a point like Matinhos, it should be okay. The 10th of August (Monday morning) is clean with 2.0 ft from the east (combined energy 159), but again, it’s just ordinary.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a dud. The second week has a few sessions that are rideable, but the only day that really stands out is the morning of Saturday, August 8th. That’s your window.

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.
