The Lowdown
Right, Rusty here, let’s talk about Matinhos.
First few days, don’t even bother. Tiny junk, poor wind. That dry spell runs a few days until Friday the 24th.
Friday morning, July 24th at Matinhos (point) – 1.3m swell from the SSE, period 9 seconds. Winds go glassy from the SSE by afternoon. Combined energy is moderate at 333. Water temp is 20°, a touch warmer than average. That afternoon glass-off is where you want to be.
Saturday morning, July 25th – 1.1m from the SE, period 9 seconds, dead calm offshore from the NW. Glassy. Combined energy 193. Clean little waves – good for a cruisy session.
Sunday morning, July 26th – 0.9m SE, period 9 seconds, glassy. Combined energy 209. Gentle, clean, and easy.
Then we hit a flat spell. Monday the 27th through Saturday the 1st of August is a write-off – small, messy, or no swell. That’s about five days of nothing.
Sunday morning, August 2nd – 1.5m from the S, period short at 7 seconds, but glassy from the N. Combined energy 360. Decent size, short period, but clean. Worth a look.
Tuesday morning, August 4th – 1.3m from the SE, period 10 seconds, dead calm. Combined energy 343. Clean, lined up, good paddle-out.
Wednesday morning, August 5th – the biggest clean swell. 1.6m from the ESE, period 9 seconds, combined energy 381. Glassy from the SW. This one’s got power and shape – the best of the whole run.
Thursday morning, August 6th – 1.5m from the E, period 9 seconds, dead calm. Combined energy 377. Another cracker.
Top pick: Wednesday morning August 5th.
Crowds are likely here on good days.
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.
