Linkys Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, to be straight up with you, the outlook for Linkys over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re lookin’ at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddlin’ for. The first real chance of anything surfable comes on the morning of July 9th, but it’s a real small window.

The best of what we’ve got, and I mean the *only* real shout, is the Thursday morning, July 9th session at Linkys (reef and point). The swell is a tiny 3ft from the East, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined wave energy is weak (121). But the key here is the wind: we’ve got a light WSW offshore breeze blowin’ at 6 mph. That’s gonna keep the surface clean as a whistle. It’s a proper offshore wind for this spot, which is the main reason this is the only highlight. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothin’ wild to report there.

The rest of the run is grim. Wednesday the 8th has a bit of size (4ft) but the wind is cross or cross-on, churning it up. From Thursday afternoon (July 9th) all the way through to July 22nd, it’s a string of poor surf conditions with teeny tiny swell, mostly 1ft or less. There’s a couple of days later on, like the Wednesday morning of July 22nd, where the wind goes glassy offshore and light, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft with a period of just 4 seconds. That’s not surf, that’s a lake. The combined energy is only 26 (weak). It’s a clean, empty lineup, but there’s nothin’ to ride.

So, the honest truth is, there’s one worthwhile morning on July 9th for a clean, small wave session. The rest of the 16 days is a flat, wind-battered write-off. For an inconsistent spot like Linkys, this kind of blank run is pretty normal. Keep the board waxed and wait for the next pulse.

Rusty.
