The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Matinhos over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the middle of the week and the following weekend are where the real magic is. The water is sitting at 71°, which is a massive 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real treat and you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
The first real action kicks off on Monday, 24 August. The morning is a bit marginal, but the afternoon is the standout. The swell is a clean 4ft from the SSE, with a solid 15-second period pushing moderate energy (781). The wind goes glassy, so expect smooth, peeling waves. This is a point break, so that long period will wrap in beautifully. It’s a top pick for the week.
We get another great window through Wednesday, 26 August. The morning and afternoon both look glassy with a 4ft to 5ft swell from the SE, again with that long 15-second period. The energy is pumping (797). This is some of the best quality on offer, and with the perfect offshore wind from the NW in the morning, it’ll be really clean.
Thursday, 27 August morning is also a beauty – glassy, 4ft SE swell at 14 seconds (550 energy). It’s a little smaller, but still very good. The afternoon turns onshore, so get out early.
Things drop off a bit after that. We get a short window of clean, small waves on Friday, 28 August morning (4ft, but only 8 seconds from the E, so a bit weaker at 258 energy), but it’s not the same quality. The following week is mostly a write-off with onshore winds and poor conditions, a real gap of a few days with nothing to recommend.
Then, hold on for the second week. Sunday, 6 September morning looks promising again. Glassy and calm with a 4ft ESE swell at 11 seconds (317 energy). It’s a bit of a wait, but it’s a solid, clean option. Monday, 7 September morning is also worth a mention – glassy, 4ft, 10-second ESE swell.
The bottom line: the best windows are Monday afternoon 24 August, all of Wednesday 26 August, and Thursday morning 27 August. That’s where the quality is. The long-range options on 6 and 7 September are promising, but we’ll have to see how they firm up.
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.
