The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna give you the full rundown on what’s coming our way. We’ve got a long stretch ahead, but it starts a bit slow.
The first recommendation in the 16-day window is for Matinhos. It’s a point break that handles plenty of swell and likes it from the south. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a spring suit if you're feeling tough.
Alright, let’s get into it. The early part of the week kicks off on Thursday 10th September with small surf around 2 ft from the SSE, but the wind is messy and there's rain around. Not worth paddling out for. Friday 11th picks up a little – the morning has some 3 ft waves from the east, but the period is a short 7 seconds and wind is okay. It’s surfable but nothing to get excited about.
The weekend gets a boost in size but loses the quality. Saturday 12th sees a jump to 7 ft from the SSE, but with a strong cross-onshore wind, it’s a choppy mess. The combined wave energy is a healthy 561 (moderate) but the conditions are poor. Sunday 13th is similar with 5 ft swell and onshore winds. Not great.
Monday 14th afternoon looks interesting for size – 7 ft from the east, but the period is still short at 8 seconds, and it’s cross-onshore. The energy is cranked up to 1077 (strong), but it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Tuesday 15th is the standout of the first half of the forecast. The morning is glassy with 0 mph wind and 4 ft swell from the SSE. The period is still short (8 sec) but the clean conditions will make it fun. That’s your best bet for an early session this week.
The following week, Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th are messy, but Thursday 17th morning does go glassy again on 3 ft from the SSE with a long 14-second period. That’s a groundswell pulse, so expect better shaped waves at the point. It’s small but clean.
We get another shot of glassy conditions on Saturday 19th morning and Sunday 20th morning, with small waves around 3 ft and 3 ft respectively. These are good windows for the learner crew or anyone wanting an easy paddle.
The last few days of the window, from Monday 21st through to Friday 25th September, are mostly weak and unappealing. The energy drops off into the low double digits (71 down to 43). The one exception is Wednesday 23rd morning, which sees a pulse of 5 ft from the SSE with 7-second period and a light crosswind. It’s marginal but the best of a quiet end.
Best on offer: Tuesday 15th September morning for the combo of chest-high waves and glass. After that, Thursday 17th September morning for a longer period groundswell in clean conditions.
Stay patient, the ocean will throw us a bone.

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.
