The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board. Let’s see what’s shaping up for Matinhos over the next couple of weeks.
First off, the water is at 68°F right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Not a bad thing.
Right now, we are in a slow patch. The first week or so is pretty quiet. From Saturday morning right through to the following Friday, the swell is small, under 3ft, and mostly from the east with short periods. The wave energy is weak, with combined energy readings mostly between 41 and 98. The conditions are mixed, with some glassy mornings but plenty of cross-on winds that chop things up. Nothing really worth paddling out for. The standout potential is a bit of a wait.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday, the 9th of August. The morning brings a clean 5ft swell from the SSE with a period of 10 seconds, and a light offshore wind from the NNW. The combined energy jumps to 381, which is moderate. This is the first time in a while the conditions line up. The afternoon, however, gets messy with a strong cross-on wind, so get it early.
The next big date to circle is Tuesday, the 11th of August. The morning is glassy, with a clean 4ft swell from the SSE, and the period stretches to 14 seconds. That’s a nice long-period groundswell with plenty of energy (608 combined energy). The wind is calm, and it stays glassy into the afternoon. These are the kind of conditions that make Matinhos (point) look good. The swell direction is right in the sweet spot from the south, which is ideal for this spot. It’s consistent, so expect plenty of waves. The crowds can be an issue here, but for surf this good, it’s worth the company.
Looking further ahead, Saturday, the 15th of August, sees a bigger pulse of 8ft from the SSE. The combined energy is a massive 1146, which is strong. The morning is glassy, but this size is only for experienced surfers. It’s powerful and will be a handful for anyone not used to it. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a shorter-period swell, which might keep it a bit raw.
Then Sunday, the 16th of August, offers another good option. The morning is glassy again with a 6ft swell from the SSE, period of 13 seconds, and combined energy of 985. That’s excellent, clean surf for the experienced intermediate and above.
Overall, the best bet is the Tuesday the 11th for that glassy, long-period groundswell. If you are a confident surfer, the Saturday the 15th morning is a big one, but respect the size.

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.
