The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up at Matinhos.
Right off the bat, it’s a slow start. There’s nothing worth getting excited about for the first several days. The surf is small, the winds are messy, and the energy just isn’t there. You’re looking at a gap of nearly a week of poor to marginal conditions before anything decent shows up. It’s one of those stretches where you’d be better off tuning the board or waiting for a better window.
The first real glimmer comes on the morning of Monday the 15th of September. That’s when a clean, cross-offshore WNW breeze lines up with a solid 8ft swell from the ESE. The combined energy is strong at 1873, and this is where the experienced surfers should have their eyes. The break at Matinhos, a point break, will handle this size well, but anything over 8ft is for experts only. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s not a groundswell, but with that wind, it’ll be clean and punchy. The water temperature is sitting at 70°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, a real bonus if you’re paddling out without a thick suit.
The standout in the whole outlook is Tuesday morning, September 16th. The wind goes glassy, the swell drops to a more manageable 3ft from the SE, but the period stretches out to 12 seconds. That’s groundswell territory. The combined energy is 522 – moderate, but the quality will be well above average. Glassy conditions, long-period lines wrapping into that point. This is the session to aim for. Just keep in mind, with a longer period, it might break a bit straight on a beach setup, but at a point break like Matinhos, it’s money.
Wednesday the 17th and beyond fade back into mediocrity. Winds turn onshore or cross, swell drops, and the conditions get choppy. There’s a brief mention of Sunday the 20th with a clean 5ft ESE swell and offshore NW wind, which could offer a decent option, but it’s not a standout compared to the 15th and 16th. The rest of the second week is mostly small, windy, and uninspiring.
So, bottom line: the first week is a write-off. The second week has two real highlights – Monday the 15th for the bigger, expert-level surf, and Tuesday the 16th for the clean, glassy, long-period groundswell. Get on it if you can.
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.
