The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Linkys.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. Linkys is an inconsistent reef and point break that really needs the stars to align, and for the next week and a half, it’s lookin’ pretty flat. For the first twelve days, from Friday August 7th right through to Tuesday August 18th, we’re stuck with tiny dribbles. Swell heights are mostly 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft, with the combined energy struggling to get past a measly 34 (34). The wind is glassy or clean at times, especially on the morning of Saturday August 8th with zero wind, but there’s just no push behind it. You’d be paddling for nothing. That’s a long, dry gap.
Now, things finally start to change on Wednesday August 19th. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the ESE, with a combined energy of 81 (81) – still weak, but it’s a step in the right direction. The wind is cross-offshore from the SSW, keeping it clean. Surfable, but nothin’ to write home about.
The real standout, the one that’s got my heart beatin’ a little faster, is Thursday August 20th. That morning, Linkys gets a solid 6 ft swell from the east. The combined energy jumps to 672 (672) – that’s proper strong wave energy. The wind is offshore from the WSW, 12 mph, which is gonna groom those faces into clean lines. Now, this is an advanced spot, and 6 ft is powerful, especially for a reef break. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly and fat, but for this spot, that’s a rare day of actual size. If you’re an experienced surfer, this is the day to clear your schedule.
After that, it fades quickly. Friday August 21st drops to 3 ft (116 combined energy) and Saturday August 22nd is back to 2 ft. So, your window is really that Thursday morning.
In short: a long, flat spell, then one solid Thursday morning for the experts. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothin’ weird there.
Rusty.

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.
