The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for the most part. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak swell and messy conditions. The water’s sitting at 66°F at the start, which is about average for the time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s normal. There’s a gap of nearly a week of flat, poor surf before anything even worth a mention shows up.
The first real sniff of something happens on Thursday, the 3rd of September. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SE, but with a super short period of 5 seconds, it’s just wind chop. The combined energy is moderate at 124, but the wind is cross-off, so it cleans up a bit. It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s pretty ordinary. Not a stand-out.
Friday morning, the 4th of September, is a bit of a tease. The swell drops back to 3ft from the ESE, but the wind goes glassy. That’s a major positive for clean conditions, but the wave energy is weak (64). You’ll be scratching for a wave.
Now, the best on offer is a couple of days later. Look at Sunday, the 6th of September. The swell picks up to 5ft from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits a strong 277. The wind is cross-off in the afternoon, making for clean conditions. This is the standout window. The following day, Monday the 7th of September, is also worth a look. The swell drops to 3ft from the E, but the period stretches to 10 seconds, giving it some proper groundswell shape. The wind is offshore from the WSW all morning, making for clean, lined-up waves. Combined energy is still a solid 213. This is your best bet for a decent session if you can get out there.
After that, it’s a slow fade. Winds turn onshore again, and the swell drops right off into the second week. There’s a window on Friday, the 11th of September, with a 3ft SSE swell, but it’s a short period affair and the energy is weak (66). Nothing to get excited about. The rest of the second week is flat with virtually no energy.
For a spot that’s inconsistent, this blank run is a bit more normal for the area. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, don’t hold your breath.
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.
