Where this tide comes from
Matinhos has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global EOT20 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.9 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

The sea at Matinhos
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 1.9 ft with a period of 4 s, from the southeast (slight).

Surf in Matinhos today
Surf today
Poor- 0.9–1.3 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.9 ft swell at 6 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves

- Falling tide (low tide at 8:32 am)
- Light: First light 5:04 am · sunrise 5:28 am · sunset 6:28 pm · last light 6:52 pm
- Tide: high 3:53 am (2.3 ft), low 8:32 am (-1.1 ft), high 4:00 pm (1.4 ft) and low 8:39 pm (-2.0 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 71.6 °F–72.9 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 5 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with small waves and a short-period swell.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:44–2:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:16–3:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:32–7:32 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:03–10:03 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 27 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 380 ft and 66 ft at 750 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
