The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the next few weeks for Matinhos, and it’s a bit of a slow burn, but there’s a couple of real gems hiding in there if you’re patient.

Right now, it’s pretty flat and messy. Tuesday the 1st has tiny 2ft windswell with a short 8-second period and a cross-breeze messin’ it up—not worth paddlin’ out. Wednesday the 2nd is a bit better with 5ft swell, but it’s cross-onshore and only marginal. Honestly, you’re better off waiting.

The first standout is Thursday the 3rd, early. Glassy conditions, a light offshore trickle from the NNW, and a clean 4ft SE swell with a 10-second period. The energy’s moderate at 290 and it’ll be clean, but it’s pretty small—fun for a longboard or a fish.

Then we hit a dry spell. Friday the 4th has a glassy 2ft, but it’s tiny. Saturday and Sunday the 5th and 6th are blown out with onshore wind, and the swell’s short and weak. The energy is barely 100-158—weak stuff.

Monday the 7th sees 6ft of bumpy, short-period swell but cross-shore wind—marginal at best. Not calling it.

Now, the real highlight: Thursday the 10th. That afternoon will be magic. A clean 6ft E swell (moderate combined energy at 703), glassy conditions with a light westerly, no wind. That’s a solid intermediate wave, clean, with plenty of push. It’ll be a bit punchy but not overhead for most. If you’ve got some experience, that’s your session.

Friday the 11th morning is also good—5ft E swell, glassy, clean—but not quite as strong as Thursday.

Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothin’ weird.

For the second week, things get interesting but less certain. Saturday the 12th morning looks good early—5ft, glassy, but short 7-second period means it’ll be a bit soft and lumpy. Then Sunday the 13th shows a long-period 3ft SE groundswell at 14 seconds (energy 604) but it’s cross-shore wind, and that long period might make it straight at a beach break—still maybe okay on a point.

Monday the 14th also has a 4ft SSE groundswell at 13 seconds (energy 605) but again cross-shore and then onshore later. Promising, but keep an eye on the wind.

If you’re a beginner, avoid anything over 5ft or with short period. Thursday the 10th afternoon is too big for beginners. The smaller glassy days like Thursday the 3rd or Friday the 11th morning are better.

Bottom line: the best on offer is Thursday the 10th afternoon at Matinhos—clean, glassy, 6ft E swell. That’s the one to circle.

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.
