The Lowdown

Alright, folks, let's look at this in feet and Fahrenheit.

So, for the next 16 days at Matinhos we're looking at a long, frustrating stretch of not much to write home about. It’s a classic tale of waiting for the stars to align, and they just don't for a while. The swell energy is weak to moderate at best, with the combined energy numbers barely cracking triple digits for most of the period, and the wind just won't play ball. We're looking at a solid run of poor conditions from the 2nd right through to the 9th of September, with only a few fleeting moments that are "surfable but very ordinary." It’s a tough watch.

The first real chance to get excited comes on the 10th of September. The Thursday morning session is the standout of this whole outlook. We get a 4ft swell from the east, with an 8-second period. Now, the real winner here is the wind: it’s glassy. That’s a massive positive, turning a so-so swell into something clean and rideable. The water temp is a warm 70°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, a nice bonus. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

After that brief highlight, we slide back into mostly poor, marginal, or very ordinary conditions right through until the 16th of September. The wind stays onshore, the swell is small and messy. It’s a big gap of over a week with nothing worth getting the wetsuit off for.

But hold on. Look at the 17th of September, a Thursday. Another promising morning shows up. A 7ft swell from the SSE, with a 7-second period. That’s a bit of size, and with a clean, cross-off wind from the north, it should be workable for the expert crew. The swell energy is moderate, sitting at 447. It's a long way out, so take it with a grain of salt, but it's a light at the end of the tunnel.

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.
