The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next 16 days out at Linkys are looking pretty grim. I’ve scanned the whole run, and honestly, there’s not a single standout session worth getting excited about. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with only a few fleeting moments that might be worth a paddle, but nothing that’ll get the stoke levels up.
For the first week, from Tuesday the 28th through to the end of that run, it’s mostly small, weak, and messy. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly in the double digits (83, 64, 27) and even when it bumps up on Thursday the 30th with a moderate 8ft swell from the ENE, the energy is strong (656) but the wind is a cross-on mess at 16 mph, making it choppy and poor. That’s a no-go for paddle surfing; it’s looking more like a kite day. The water is running at 61°F with a -5°F anomaly, which is much colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll need a thick suit.
The best of a bad bunch comes on Friday the 31st morning. We’ve got a small 4ft swell from the ENE with a 6-second period, and the wind is finally offshore from the NE at 9 mph. The energy is still weak (110), but it’s the cleanest it’ll be. The break is a reef and point, so that offshore wind will clean it up nicely, but it’s inconsistent and only for advanced surfers. Crowds are often here, so you’ll have company, but it’s the only spot in the window that’s even close to surfable.
After that, the swell drops right off. From Saturday the 1st of August right through to Wednesday the 12th, we’re looking at tiny waves, mostly 0.3ft to 2ft, with weak energy and cross or onshore winds. There are a few glassy moments on Tuesday the 11th morning and Wednesday the 12th morning, but with a 0.3ft swell, it’s flat. Those are just flat days with a mirror finish.
So, to wrap it up: the only real chance is Friday morning, July 31st, for a tiny, clean, inconsistent wave at Linkys. For the rest of the 16 days, you’re better off checking the forecast for a change. Sometimes it’s like this – a blank run. But forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
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.
