Table - best surf conditions forecast for Matinhos over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for us locally.
First things first, the water is sitting at 66° right now, which is just about average for the time of year. Nothing weird going on there.
The forecast is a bit of a mixed bag. For the next week and a half, we’re looking at mostly small, ordinary surf with a lot of messy conditions and onshore wind. It’s not a great run, but there are a couple of bright spots, especially if you’re patient.
Friday the 10th starts off tiny and glassy, but the swell is only 1 ft from ESE – just not enough push to get excited about. Saturday the 11th morning has a slight step up: 2 ft from SE, with clean, cross-off wind. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The real standout doesn’t come until early in the third week. On Wednesday morning, July 22nd, we get a pulse of 6 ft swell from SSE. The wind is glassy, from NNW, so it’s going to be clean. The combined wave energy hits 357 (moderate to strong), which is the biggest bump in energy we see in the whole run. But here’s the deal – the period is short, only 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit of a lumpy, close-interval affair. Still, at Matinhos, that’s the best wave size and cleanest window we get. It’ll be a bit much for true beginners at that size, but intermediate-plus surfers should have a good time.
Then, on Friday morning, July 24th, we get something interesting. A 2 ft swell from SSE, but with a very long period of 15 seconds. That’s groundswell, and it’s clean with offshore NNW wind. Combined energy is 243 (moderate). At a point break like Matinhos, that long-period swell will wrap in nicely, offering well-shaped, lined-up waves. Just be aware the gaps between sets will be longer. This is a promising, but long-range call, so keep an eye on it.
Before that, from July 12th through the 20th, there’s a long stretch of days with small, onshore, or cross-shore wind and weak energy. It’s a real lull, not worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate.
So, to sum it up: the best windows are Wednesday morning July 22nd for size, and Friday July 24th for quality and clean conditions. Everything else is pretty average. Get out there on those two mornings if you can.
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.
