The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for our local stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a slow grind. There’s a real quiet spell on the cards. We’re looking at a long gap of small, weak surf with a lot of ordinary conditions. The first real window where you might want to get wet doesn't show up until Saturday the 1st of August, and even then, it’s only just barely surfable. The mornings are your best bet that weekend, with a small 3ft swell from the east and glassy conditions. The wave energy is still low (88), so it’s not going to be a world-beater, but it’s clean.
From there, we drift along with a few mornings showing glassy conditions and small east swell around 2ft to 3ft. The energy stays modest (106 to 116). It’s the kind of stuff that’s better for a longboard or a funboard, but at least it’s clean.
The standout comes on Tuesday the 11th of August. The afternoon session is the one to circle. The wind goes glassy, and the swell picks up nicely to 5ft out of the SSE. The combined energy jumps to a solid 209, which is a proper step up. That’s a nice groundswell with a period of 15 seconds, meaning long, powerful lines. For a point break like Matinhos, that’s a dream combo – the long period will wrap in beautifully, offering some proper shape and a bit of push. It’s still in the intermediate-friendly range, but it’s got enough weight to keep you honest. The water temperature is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild.
The next morning, Wednesday the 12th, holds some size too at 5ft, but the wind swings cross-shore and then cross-on, so that Tuesday arvo is the clear winner. If you can only paddle out once, that’s the session.
Rusty out.

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.
