The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming down the line for Matinhos.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, with a few days of small, ordinary waves before the energy really starts to build. The first real standout window is the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September. For a couple of days before that, the swell is just too messy or the wind is wrong. But Thursday morning? That’s where it’s at. We’ll see a clean 4 ft swell pushing in from the SE, and with a light NNW cross-offshore breeze, the surface will be clean. The period is a solid 11 seconds, so there’s proper groundswell energy behind it, giving the waves some shape and punch. The combined energy reading is 305 (moderate), so it’s not a massive day, but it’s got enough grunt to make the point work nicely. This is for intermediate-plus surfers; the size is friendly but the quality will be there.

Then we get a bit of a lull again with smaller, wind-affected stuff Friday through Sunday, but the real gem of the whole forecast shows up on the 8th of September, Tuesday morning. Glassy conditions, a light SSW breeze, and a 4 ft SE swell with that same 11-second period. The combined energy is 351 (moderate to strong), and the water is about average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises with the temperature. The point will be clean, consistent, and offering proper shaped waves. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.

The good run keeps going. The 9th of September, Wednesday morning, is also glassy with a 4 ft SE swell (10 seconds, energy 273), and then Wednesday afternoon turns glassy as well with a 4 ft ESE swell and an energy reading of 369. That afternoon session will be silky smooth. And then Thursday the 10th of September is an absolute stunner – zero wind in the morning, glassy as a mirror, with a 5 ft ESE swell (9 seconds, energy 430). That’s the biggest clean swell of the window, and it’s backed up by the same glassy conditions on Thursday afternoon. The combined energy is strong, and the point will be firing. Just keep in mind that with a crowd rating of “often”, you’ll want to get out early for a peak.

The 13th of September, Sunday morning, also offers a glassy window with a 4 ft ESE swell (10 seconds, energy 247), but by then we’re into the second week and the confidence is a little lower. Still, if the pattern holds, that’s a good morning session.

Overall, the best bets are the 8th through the 10th of September. The point will be clean, consistent, and the swell direction from the SE is right in the optimum window for the break. For the rest of the time, wind and weaker swell keep things ordinary. The 2nd of September has a bigger 5 ft SSE swell, but with a cross-onshore wind, it’s choppy and not worth the paddle.

Stay stoked, and check the tides. 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.
