The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Let’s cut to the chase – the next couple of weeks have a few gems, but you’ll have to sit through some dross to get to them. The first proper surf shows up early on the 8th.
The Early Window (Aug 8 – 10)
Saturday morning on the 8th is your first real chance. There’s a 1.1m SSE swell with a 13-second pulse and moderate energy (389). It’s glassy, clean, and the point at Matinhos will be working properly. The arvo drops to 0.9m and the wind swings cross, so get out there early.
Sunday the 9th is junk – onshore wind and chop. Not worth mentioning further. Monday the 10th is only marginal; a cross-shore breeze and a 1.0m SSE swell with energy at 313. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The Mid-Week Shift (Aug 11 – 13)
Tuesday the 11th turns ugly. The swell pushes to 1.5m in the afternoon, but the period drops to 7 seconds and the cross-onshore wind messes it all up. One for the kites, not the paddle boards.
Wednesday the 12th stays poor. However, Thursday the 13th morning is small but clean – 0.7m at 11 seconds, glassy, with energy at 201. A small-wave day, good for a longboard.
The Standout Window (Aug 14 – 15)
This is where it pays off. Friday the 14th morning is the big one. A 1.1m SE groundswell at a long 14 seconds, and the energy jumps to 583 – the strongest of the entire run. Dead calm winds, a consistent point break, and clean lines. This is the session to plan around.
Saturday the 15th morning is a close second. Swell drops to 0.5m but the period stretches out to a very long 16 seconds. With glassy conditions and moderate energy (314), it’ll be beautiful, mellow, and lined-up. Long-period swell on a point is a match made in heaven.
The Home Stretch (Aug 16 – 20)
After that, it fades. Sunday the 16th has a peaky 1.1m easterly swell at a short 8 seconds. Clean in the morning, onshore in the arvo. It’s alright.
Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th are ordinary – small and weak. The last potential is Wednesday the 19th morning: a 1.4m SSE swell at 11 seconds with strong energy (446) and glassy conditions. That’s got real weight to it, but it’s over a week away, so treat it as promising, not certain.
The Bottom Line
Pick your mornings, not your days. The 8th is a go, the 14th and 15th are your standouts, and the 19th could be a dark horse. Water temp is about average for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit. Enjoy.
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.
