The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here.
First up, we’re dialled into Matinhos, a point break that usually fires best with a south swell. The water’s sitting at 70°F right now – that's about 5°F warmer than what you'd normally expect for this time of year, so it feels like the ocean forgot it’s meant to be getting cold. Strange but not complaining.
Over the next couple of days, don't bother suiting up. Saturday and Sunday are flat and sloppy. The wave energy is weak, barely 100 or less, with cross-onshore winds ruining any chance of a good wave. The swell is tiny, around 2 to 3 feet, and the period is short at 8 seconds. Not worth the effort.
Monday ain't much better. A little bump in energy to 144, but still small and messy. Tuesday morning cleans up with a light offshore breeze from the WNW. The swell is still small, about 3 feet from the SE. It’s rideable but very average.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Wednesday the 2nd of September sees a solid jump in size. Swell hits 7 feet from the south, period 9 seconds. The energy is moderate at 987. The wind is cross-on from the south, so it’ll be choppy, but the size is there. This is getting into the territory where it’s too big for groms and beginners.
But the absolute standout is Thursday the 3rd of September morning. The swell drops slightly to 4 feet from the SE, period 9 seconds, but the key is the wind. It goes glassy – dead calm. Combined energy is moderate at 238. This is the session. Clean, glassy conditions with fun 4-foot waves. Get on it.
Friday the 4th (morning) is also solid. Glassy again, with a 3-foot SE swell and a longer 10-second period, giving those waves a bit more push. Good morning.
The weekend turns sour again with rain and onshore wind. We get another pulse around Monday the 7th of September with a 6-foot SSE swell and an 11-second period, but the wind is cross-shore, so it won't be as clean.
Looking further out, Thursday the 10th of September morning shows potential. Light offshore breeze, 4-foot ESE swell, decent energy at 285. A long-range option, but promising.
So, bottom line: the best bet for clean, fun waves is Thursday the 3rd of September morning at Matinhos. Don't be late.
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.
