Pico de Matinhos is Paraná state's best right-hand point, a throaty barrel that wraps around a rocky headland with impressive intensity. The wave offers excellent length on solid S swells and produces some of the best tubes in southern Brazil outside of Santa Catarina. The local crew is tight but welcoming to respectful visitors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Pico de Matinhos?

The Pico de Matinhos profile favors mid tide. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Pico de Matinhos?

The Pico de Matinhos profile uses wind from NW (315°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 270° to 360°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

What swell size and direction work best at Pico de Matinhos?

The Pico de Matinhos scoring profile favors swell from SSE (135° to 200°), a swell-height range of 1.2m to 3m, and a reference period of 14s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
