Linkys Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on offer.

To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a drought. There’s nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell, with only a few sessions that even register as surfable, and they’re all pretty ordinary.

Our only break in the frame is Linkys, a reef and point setup. The water temp is sitting at 66°, right about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real chance to paddle out comes on Thursday, August 27th, in the morning. We’re looking at a weak swell of 3ft coming from the SE, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a cross-offshore from the S at 6 mph, which will keep things pretty clean, if a bit small and weak. The combined energy is weak (122). It’s surfable, but only just, and definitely an option for someone bored.

Later that same day, Thursday afternoon, the swell drops back to 2.3ft, with less energy (77), and the wind swings to the SW at 12 mph. It’s still clean but the size is falling off.

Friday, August 28th, is more of the same: small, weak, and clean. The morning has 2ft from the SE at 8 seconds, with light cross-offshore winds. It’s not terrible, but it’s not good either. The afternoon picks up just a touch to 2.6ft, and the wind goes offshore from the SW at 6 mph, so that’s your best chance for a clean wave, even if the energy is still minimal (99).

A few other mornings (Sunday the 30th, Thursday the 4th of September) offer clean conditions with offshore or cross-offshore wind, but the swell stays tiny—around 1.3 to 2ft. You’ll get a wave, but you’ll work for it.

The one notable blip in the whole run is Wednesday, September 9th. There’s a pulse of slightly more energy, with swell hitting 3ft from the ESE, a period of 9 to 10 seconds, and clean cross-offshore wind from the NW at 12 mph. The combined energy climbs to moderate levels (149 and 166). This is the only time the ocean looks like it has any life to it, but it’s still small and very far out. It’s a promising hint, but over a week away, so keep an eye on it.

Honestly, for the next 16 days, Linkys is barely waking up. The swell is small, the period is short, and the energy is almost always weak. If you’re desperate for a paddle, try the late afternoon of Friday the 28th or the midday clean windows, but keep your expectations on the floor. It’s a quiet stretch.
