The Lowdown

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

It’s gonna be a lean stretch, I’m not gonna lie. We’ve got a few scattered windows of small, surfable waves, but nothing that’s gonna get the heart rate up. The first week is mostly tiny, ordinary conditions, and the second week looks even more challenging. Don’t get your hopes up for any big swells.

The water is sitting at about 66°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no need to dig out the thickest wetsuit just yet.

The very best we’ve got is Wednesday morning, August 26th. It’s glassy, with a light 2ft swell from the ESE at 9 seconds. The wind is dead calm, so it’ll be about as clean as it gets. The energy is weak (58), so it’s a log or a fish kind of day. For a spot that’s inconsistent and often crowded, this is a rare, quiet moment to enjoy some tiny, clean peelers. It’s not a standout by any means, but it’s the best on offer.

After that, things get messy. Thursday the 27th has a bit more size (3ft to 5ft) but the wind is cross-offshore and the period is short, with energy just tickling the triple digits (107). It’s still surfable, but it’s ordinary. Friday the 28th offers a similar story with a bit less size.

The weekend of the 29th and 30th is a write-off, with poor surf conditions and the energy dropping into the 30s and 40s. By Monday, August 31st, we’re looking at tiny, knee-high nothingness.

The first week of September is a bit of a flat spell. There’s a small pulse of energy on the 5th and 6th (117 and 115 energy) but it’s all paired with cross-onshore or onshore wind, making it choppy. Not worth paddling out for.

The rest of the second week is dominated by poor conditions and very small swell. The best chance to get wet is a tiny window on Sunday, September 6th morning, with a clean 2ft swell and a light cross-offshore breeze. It’s still just ordinary.

Overall, this is a tough 16-day outlook. The only real highlight is that glassy, clean Wednesday morning. If you’re a beginner, the swell never gets above 5ft, so you won’t be out of your depth, but the quality is so low it’s hardly worth the trip. The energy is weak for the majority of the forecast, so don’t expect any punch.

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.
