The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's see what the next couple of weeks have got cookin' for us around Matinhos.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a long, slow start. The first Thursday afternoon (September 10th) is just a tease with a tiny, long-period groundswell from the SSE at 2ft (230 combined energy). It’s clean, but that’s about it. That’s pretty much it for a few days. We're looking at a stretch from Friday through most of the following week where it’s either too small, onshore, rainy, or just plain messy. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the scores reflect that. Don't bother paddling out for those 1ft to 3ft wind swells.

We finally see the window open a crack on Monday the 14th. The afternoon brings a pulse from the east at 6.5ft, with a solid energy reading (903). The wind is cross-offshore, so the shape should be there, but the data flags it as marginal, likely due to the short 8-second period and tide concerns. It's on the border of being a handful for the average punter, but the better surfers will be out on it.

The true standout, no question, is Tuesday morning, the 15th of September. Glassy conditions, S wind at just 3 mph, with a chest-shoulder high SSE swell at 4ft (331 energy). That’s a winner. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 69.4°, so you won't need a thick wetsuit. The wave quality is as good as it gets, so expect a crew out at the point (Matinhos). The swell direction from the SSE is a direct hit for this exposed S-facing point break.

Following that, we get a few more clean windows. Thursday the 17th morning is another glassy session with 5ft surf (297 energy), but that's pushing into the "experts only" range at that size off a short period. Then Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th mornings are both glassy again, with 3.5ft to 4ft of E swell. These are solid, clean options, but the energy is lower (215-295 range), so not as punchy as Tuesday.

After that, things fade out. The second week is patchy. Sunday the 20th is flat and glassy but barely surfable, and the final few days show a late pulse. The 25th of September pulls in a 5ft ESE swell with strong energy (930), but the wind is cross-on and it’s flagged as marginal. It's a long way off, but that’s the one to keep an eye on for a late push that might clean up.

If it weren't for that Tuesday morning glass-off, this would be a pretty bleak outlook. But one good session is all you need.

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.
