The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Matinhos over the next couple of weeks.

This is a period that starts off a bit sluggish and builds towards a window of cleaner conditions, but a lot of it is small stuff. For the first few days we’re getting some swell but conditions are just marginal. The best of it comes in a few distinct windows where the wind lays off.

Tuesday 14th July kicks things off, but honestly, it’s a rough start. We’ve got a SSE swell around 4 ft to 5 ft from the SE with a period of 10 seconds. Combined wave energy is moderate at best (364). The wind is cross-shore or onshore all day, so the wave comment says marginal surf – it’s not worth getting excited about.

Into Wednesday 15th morning, there’s a bit of hope. The swell drops slightly to 4 ft from the ESE, but the wind goes glassy from the NNW. That makes for clean conditions, and the combined energy is still moderate (327). It’s small, but clean. By afternoon, it turns cross-shore again.

Thursday 16th morning is similar – glassy conditions from the NW, swell at 4 ft from the ESE. The combined energy is moderate (237). It’s clean, but again, not much push. Afternoon sees a cross-onshore wind kick up.

The weekend from Friday 17th through to Monday 21st is a real flat spell. Swell drops to 3 ft to 3 ft from the E, period down to 8 seconds which is short-period, sloppy stuff. A few mornings are glassy or have offshore winds, but the energy is weak – values sitting around 89 to 166. The combined energy is low, so it’s more of a longboard or a rest day. There’s a gap here with no real quality surf for a few days.

Now, Tuesday 22nd July morning brings a bump in swell – 4 ft from the SSE, but it’s only 6-second period, which is short and weak. Wind is cross-shore. Not a stand-out.

Wednesday 23rd July is where things start to look better. Morning sees a SSE swell of 3 ft with a 12-second period – longer period groundswell, so more shape. Combined energy is moderate (308). And the wind? Glassy from the S. This is clean. The afternoon stays glassy from the SW with even less wind. This is the best window of the period right here. The longer period will groom the waves nicely at this point break.

Thursday 24th July morning is also promising – small at 2 ft from the SE, but with that 12-second period and glassy N winds, combined energy is moderate (237). It’s small but clean.

The last few days from Friday 25th to Monday 28th return to that ordinary, small E swell with 8-second periods. Mornings are often clean with offshore or glassy winds, but the swell is weak (109-156 combined energy). Then on Monday 28th morning, the swell jumps to 5 ft from the SSE, but it’s only 7 seconds, so it’s lumpy and cross-shore.

The standout of the whole outlook has to be Wednesday 23rd July. The swell is around 3 ft from the SSE, period 12 seconds – that long period groundswell at a point break like Matinhos is a beautiful thing. Combined energy is moderate (308), and with glassy conditions all day, the waves will be clean and fun for an intermediate surfer. It’s not big, but it’s quality.

Thursday 24th July morning is also worth a paddle, with glassy winds and longer-period swell, though it’s even smaller.

If you’re a beginner, the 23rd is fine, as the swell is under 5 ft and the conditions are clean. For experts, there’s nothing over 8 ft, so it’s a more relaxed session.

Water temperature is 65°F, which is right about average for this time of year – no anomaly to speak of.

Crowds at Matinhos can be an issue, so on that glassy Wednesday, expect some company.

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.
