Linkys Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Linkys over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the first week and a half is a write-off. There’s just nothing doing. Day after day of tiny, weak swell with poor energy, and the wind is all over the shop. The combined energy of all swells is often in the single digits or low 20s, barely a ripple. You’ll be sitting on your board doing nothing. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there.

Now, hold on to your leash, because Saturday the 15th of August things suddenly get real. We see a pulse of solid swell arrive, with the morning offering 12 ft from the ENE. The combined energy jumps right up to 1341. There’s a light cross-onshore breeze, so it’ll have a bit of texture, but it’s rideable. The afternoon is where it’s at though – the swell pushes to 16 ft, still from the ENE, and the energy skyrockets to 4947. The wind goes glassy. That’s a proper session. The swell period is 10 seconds, so it’s got some grunt. This is only for experienced surfers, no question. It’s a reef and point break, so it should handle that size, but it’s also inconsistent, so don’t expect a wave every minute. The crowd is likely to be an issue at a spot this good when it’s firing.

The next morning, Sunday the 16th, the swell is still hanging on at 12 ft from the ENE with 2563 of energy, but the wind is back to a light cross-onshore, so it won’t be as clean as the Saturday afternoon glass-off.

The standout is crystal clear: Saturday afternoon, August 15th. That 16 ft glassy session is the one to circle on your calendar. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecast, but if it holds, Linkys will be absolutely pumping.

Rusty.
