Table - best surf conditions forecast for Matadeiro over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Matadeiro.
Overall, it’s a quiet stretch ahead. The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until Sunday, July 12th, and honestly, even then it’s nothing to write home about. We’re looking at a long run of ordinary, small, and often messy conditions. There’s a run of days with no real recommendations from the start, and then a few windows where you *might* get a wave, but you’ll have to work for it.
The first whisper of anything surfable hits Sunday morning the 12th. We’re talking clean conditions with a light offshore from the S, but the swell is tiny at 3ft from the WNW, with a short period of 8 seconds. The energy is low (107). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Monday morning the 13th is glassy with a SW wind, but again, just 3ft from the N. Not much push. Tuesday morning the 14th stays clean with a light offshore, but the swell drops to 1ft. Wednesday morning the 15th has a gentle offshore from the SSW, with 2ft from the W. Same story.
The best bet on offer is probably Friday morning the 17th of July. It’s glassy, with a WSW wind, and the swell bumps up slightly to 3ft from the NW, but the period is a short 6 seconds. Combined energy is only 67. It’s not a standout by any means, but it’s the cleanest looking window with a little bit of size. Thursday morning the 16th also offers clean conditions with a cross-offshore wind and 2ft from the W.
After that, the swell does build. From the 19th through the 22nd of July, we see waves over 5ft, peaking at 8ft on the afternoon of the 20th, with strong energy (594). But the wind is howling onshore or cross-onshore from the NNE, making it a choppy, lumpy mess. That’s kite-surfing weather, not paddle surfing. The water temperature is about 65°, which is normal for the time of year.
The whole second week is a write-off for clean surf. The wind is nearly always on it, and the swell direction is wrong for the break. The best you can say is that the energy is moderate to strong, but it’s all wind-slop.
So, for a surfer wanting a clean wave, the standout is the glassy Friday morning the 17th. It’s small, but it’s the best of a poor lot.
Rusty.

Information about the Matadeiro Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Matadeiro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Matadeiro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Matadeiro 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 (Matadeiro) 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 Matadeiro 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.
