Linkys Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Linkys over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this is a quiet stretch. This is an exposed reef and point set-up that needs a very specific swell direction to fire, and for the most part, we’re just not getting it.

We’re looking at a real dry spell right out of the gate. From now until Saturday, September 26th, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. That’s a solid two-week gap with zero recommendations. The swell is tiny, often under 3 ft, and when it does nudge up a bit, the wind is either onshore or cross-shore, just messing up any chance of a clean wave. The combined wave energy barely cracks triple digits most days, sitting way down in the weak range.

Now, there’s a little flicker of hope right at the very end of the forecast window. On Saturday, September 26th, the morning session finally shows some promise. We’ve got a 3 ft swell rolling in from the ESE – that’s not the optimum NE direction this break craves, but the wind is set to go glassy. That’s a major positive. You’ll find clean, smooth conditions, and the combined energy jumps to 164 (moderate). It’s not going to be pumping, but you could scratch out a few fun ones.

Then, on Sunday, September 27th, things look a little more interesting. The swell picks up to 4 ft from the east, with a period stretching to 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and for a point and reef, that longer period is your friend – better shaped waves and more punch. The wind swings to a cross-offshore from the SW, keeping it clean. The combined energy jumps up to 411 (strong to very strong), which is the standout number of the whole period. It’s not huge, but for a spot that’s inconsistent and for advanced surfers only, that’s the day to circle on your calendar. Just be aware this is a long-range call, so things can shift.

The water’s sitting at about average for this time of year, so no shock to the system there. Crowds can be an issue here often, but with this much flat spell, the lineup should be quiet.

Heads up: on Sunday, September 21st, the swell bumps up to 4 ft, but it’s coming from the ENE with a short, weak period and onshore wind. That’s a kite-surfing setup, not a paddler’s wave.
