The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get down to it. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Linkys, and honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch for us. The swell window is looking pretty sad, and we’ve got a long gap of nothing on offer. We’re looking at a 16-day window, but the surf is going to be rare and far between.
The first real chance, and it’s a slim one, is on Saturday morning, the 15th. We’ve got a tiny kick of swell, only 1.3ft, coming from the SE. The period is a weak 5 seconds, so it’s not going to have any punch. The energy is weak, only 12 units. But the saving grace is the wind. It’s glassy, and there’s a bit of light rain. It’ll be clean, but you’ll be scratching for anything. It’s a long wait for that, and the days before are a write-off with nothing over 1ft and mostly messy winds.
Then there’s another long gap. We’re looking at the following Saturday, the 22nd of August. This is the standout of the whole period, and it’s still not huge. The morning is glassy, calm, with a 0.7ft swell from the ESE, but the period jumps to a more interesting 13 seconds. That’s some proper long-period groundswell energy, even if the size is small. The combined energy is 28, which is still weak, but it’s the best we’ve got. The afternoon sees a slight bump to 1.6ft from the SE with a shorter 7-second period and a gentle cross-shore breeze. It’s the most promising day, but it’s a far-off call, so treat it as promising, not certain.
The water temp is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, around 64.9°, so don’t forget the booties if you’re heading out.
The forecast is bleak, but with a break like this, known for being inconsistent, a blank run isn’t unusual. Keep the faith; the long-period swell on the 22nd could be worth a paddle if it fills in.

Information about the Linkys Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Linkys provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Linkys can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Linkys surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Linkys) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Linkys may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
