The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Linkys.
Straight up, this is gonna be a long, tough stretch. For an exposed reef and point that’s usually a fickle beast anyway, we’re looking at a serious dry spell. The water’s sittin’ at 66°F, which is about average for the time of year, so that’s not the problem.
The first real hope doesn’t even show up for over a week. We got nothin’ but small, junk surf and rubbish wind through the end of August and into the first week of September. There's a pulse of moderate energy around the 2nd and 3rd of September (combined energy 236 and 200), but the wind is howlin’ cross-onshore or onshore, turning it into a choppy mess. That’s not surf for paddling; that’s kite-surfing territory if you’re into that.
The gap finally breaks on Tuesday the 8th of September. That’s our first, and really only, standout window. The morning on the 8th is the pick: a clean 5ft swell from the east with a moderate offshore wind. The combined energy (162) is solid, and that offshore blow should clean up the lines at this reef and point setup. It’s not massive, but it’s the first time it’ll look rideable. The afternoon stays clean with a 4ft wave but lighter wind.
Then things get weird on the 10th of September. The swell jumps again, hitting 5ft from the southeast and combining for 265 in energy, and the wind goes offshore from the west. This is the biggest and best-looking day on the entire forecast. It could be proper. But we’re 12 days out, so cross your fingers the forecast holds.
After that, it fades back into small, so-so conditions.
Linkys is an expert-only wave that’s inconsistent and can get crowded often. When it’s on, it’s a gem, but that’s not the story here for most of the month. The first ten days are basically a write-off.
If you want to paddle, your only real shots are the 8th and especially the 10th of September. The 10th is the one to circle on the calendar, offering the best chance at a proper session.
Stay hopeful, but don’t hold your breath for the first week.
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.
