The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the next two and a half weeks at Linkys is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of mostly poor surf, with only a few fleeting moments of “surfable” waves, and they’re nothing to write home about.
Linkys is a reef and point setup, which can be a gem, but it’s inconsistent here. The water is running at 61°, which is much colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a good thick wetsuit if you’re even thinking of paddling out.
The first real chance of anything rideable comes on Wednesday, July 23rd, in the morning. We’ve got a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the northwest at 9 mph, with a 3 ft swell from the southeast at a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 111. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Honestly, nothing to get excited about.
The next small window shows up on Thursday, July 30th. The morning is clean with a light cross-offshore from the SSW at 3 mph, and a small 2 ft SE swell with a long period of 10 seconds. The energy is weak at 75. The afternoon is similar, but with a light WNW breeze. Again, surfable but very ordinary.
That’s pretty much it for the first week. Then we hit a gap of a few days with nothing worthwhile until the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. That morning brings a bit more energy, with a 4 ft swell from the southeast and a 10-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 213, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SSW at 12 mph. The report calls it marginal, but with the clean conditions and a bit more push, this might be the best of a very quiet period. It’s still not a standout, just the best of a bad bunch.
The rest of the forecast is a dead zone of poor surf, onshore winds, and tiny waves. For an advanced, inconsistent reef like this, a blank run like this is pretty normal. 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.
