Linkys Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let me start by saying, the next couple of weeks are pretty grim for Linkys. The outlook is dominated by tiny, weak swell with poor to ordinary conditions. There are no standout sessions to get excited about. We’ll see a long stretch of days where the surf just isn’t worth paddling out for.

Looking at the available data, the first few days from Friday July 3rd through to Wednesday July 8th offer nothing but small, messy waves. The swell sits at a tiny 1ft to 2ft from the SE, with periods mostly between 8 and 10 seconds, meaning weak, disorganised energy. Winds are mostly cross-off or cross-onshore, and surf quality is described as poor. The water temperature is about 64°, which is pretty average for the time of year—no real surprise there.

Thursday July 9th shows a slight bump with a 5ft SE swell on the afternoon, but it comes with a short, weak period of 5 seconds and a combined energy of just 185—moderate at best, but still nothing to write home about. Winds are cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the waves will be messy and lumpy. That’s probably the most interesting swell height in the whole period, but it’s marred by poor conditions.

From the 10th onwards, it’s back to tiny surf, often under 2ft, with weak energy readings dropping to single digits at times. There’s a glimpse of something on Tuesday July 14th morning, with a 3ft ENE swell and glassy conditions—very ordinary, surfable waves, but that’s about as good as it gets. The rest of the second week is dominated by tiny 0.3ft to 1.0ft swells with long periods (14-15 seconds) from the E and SE, bringing very little energy. The combined energy values are in the single digits or low teens, meaning there’s almost no power in the water. Winds do turn offshore at times, keeping it clean, but with waves that small, it’s essentially flat.

Honestly, Linkys isn’t delivering any proper surf during this 16-day window. Consistency is rare, and the few moments with a little bump are let down by the quality. If you’re desperate, you could try Thursday July 9th afternoon or Tuesday July 14th morning, but don’t expect much. The setup here, with small, weak swell and occasional onshore breezes, might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on certain days—like when the wind picks up and the swell is too small for a decent wave. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, it’s a quiet run.
