Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s happening with the surf.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start to the forecast period, but it’s not a total write-off. The first wave action comes in on Saturday the 4th of July, but it’s nothing to get too excited about. The energy is moderate, with a combined swell energy of 577, and the swell is a clean 4ft from the SSE at a solid 13-second period. But the wind is a side-shore from the SE, which is not ideal. The afternoon cleans right up though, with the wind dropping to glassy conditions, and the swell still hanging around 4ft from the SSE. That afternoon session is the pick of the first day – clean, lined up, and waiting for you.
Then, Sunday the 5th is a gem. We’ve got glassy wind all morning and into the afternoon, with the swell holding steady around 3-4ft from the SSE. The period is still long, dropping from 12 to 11 seconds, meaning proper groundswell with those nice, long sets. The water temp is about average for the time of year here at Matinhos (point). This is the standout of the first few days. Get out there.
The window of good surf runs into Monday morning the 6th, with glassy conditions and a 3ft SSE swell. But the energy is dropping fast, down to 242. After that, the wind turns onshore and the surf gets a bit messy through Tuesday and Wednesday. Mid-week, Wednesday morning the 8th offers a short window of glassy conditions and a 2ft SE swell, but it’s small and ordinary.
We then go through a dry spell. From Thursday the 9th right through to Saturday the 11th, conditions are pretty poor. The swell drops off to barely a bump, with combined energy falling below 100 at times, and there’s not much worth paddling out for.
The quality returns on Sunday the 12th. We get a clean, offshore wind from the NNW in the morning, and a 3ft SE swell with a 12-second period. That’s a solid groundswell, and combined energy of 273 means there’s some push. This is another good session.
Tuesday the 14th is a major standout. The afternoon brings glassy conditions again, but this time the swell jumps to 5ft from the SSE, with a combined energy of 540. That’s a solid step up in power, and the waves will have some real push. The period is only 8 seconds, so it’s a shorter-period swell, but on this point break setup, it should still offer fun, punchy waves. That Tuesday arvo is the best on offer in the near-term.
Now, looking further out, we’ve got a long-range pulse coming through on Friday the 17th of July. The morning shows a 5ft swell from the SSE with an incredibly long 15-second period, and combined energy of 1032 – that is strong wave energy. The afternoon gets even bigger, with 5ft SE swell and a 16-second period, hitting a combined energy of 1100. That is proper, powerful groundswell. However, the wind is a moderate onshore breeze from the south, so it’ll be choppy. This is for experienced surfers only – the swell size and power make it too much for beginners. The long period means the waves will be very consistent and packed with energy, but the onshore wind will mess with the surface. It’s a promising, powerful swell, but less certain this far out.
The period ends with a tiny 1ft glassy morning on Sunday the 19th, but by then the swell is fading fast.
Best on offer: Sunday the 5th’s glassy, 4ft SSE groundswell, and Tuesday the 14th’s afternoon glassy, 5ft SSE swell. For the brave, keep an eye on the big, long-period groundswell on Friday the 17th.

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.
