The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty back at you, talking feet and miles per hour now.

The next couple of weeks at Matinhos are a bit of a mixed bag. We've got a solid point break that can handle some size, but the direction and wind aren't always lining up. The water's a touch warmer than usual for the season, sitting at 69°F, but that doesn't help the early conditions.

Your first real window is Monday afternoon, September 14th. Swell bumps up to 7ft from the ESE with a combined energy of 582 – that's moderate juice, and the wave comment says "expect very good surf conditions". A light cross-offshore wind from the WSW at 6 mph should keep things clean. That's a standout for the intermediate guys, but at 7ft, it's pushing it for beginners.

Tuesday morning, September 15th, is the jewel of the early period. Glassy conditions with a WSW breeze at just 3 mph, and a clean 4ft swell from the SE (218 combined energy). The wave comment says "expect good surf conditions". This is a beauty – light winds, clean lines – get out there early. Tuesday afternoon goes to junk with onshore wind.

Next big one is Thursday morning, September 17th. A glassy start with an ESE breeze at 3 mph, and a solid 4ft groundswell from the SSE with a very long period of 12 seconds. Combined energy jumps to 487. That long period makes for some serious, pushy lines at Matinhos, perfect for the point. Good surf conditions are on the cards.

Looking into the second week, there are more glassy mornings with small, ordinary waves. The next real standout is Saturday morning, September 27th. We're looking at an E swell at 5ft with a combined energy of 472, and it's clean and glassy with no wind. "Expect good surf conditions." It's a long way out, so treat it as a promising call, but if it holds, that's a session to circle.

The rest of the period is plagued by cross-onshore or onshore winds and poor surf comments. The swell keeps showing up, but the quality just isn't there. Skip the afternoons – they're mostly blown out.

So, the standout sessions are Tuesday morning, September 15th – clean, glassy, and a nice 4ft, and Thursday morning, September 17th – a long-period groundswell with glassy conditions. Both are prime for Matinhos.

Stay stoked,
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.
