The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles. Rusty here, and Linkys is looking dead.
This is a long, lean stretch. The swell energy is weak to non-existent for weeks. There is no day that screams “go.” You’re looking at a drought.
Starting Saturday, August 22nd: 2ft from the ESE, cross-on wind, energy at 83. Forget it. Sunday is even smaller. Monday the 24th has clean offshore wind but the swell is a ridiculous 1ft. It’s clean, but you’d be paddling for nothing. The period is 12 seconds, which is nice and long, but there’s no power.
Wednesday the 26th afternoon gives you the highest energy of the early period at 100, with a 3ft SE swell and clean cross-off wind. That’s the “best” – you might find a knee-high wave. But that’s the highlight, which says everything.
The rest is a wash. Tiny swell (under 2ft), onshore or cross-shore winds, and chop. By the start of September, you get long-period groundswell (up to 16 seconds!) but with only 0.6ft to 1ft of height – all length, no punch. Glassy and flat.
The only pop comes Sunday, September 6th: a 4ft NE swell with moderate energy (167). But the wind is onshore from the NE, the period is a short 7 seconds, and it’s over a week out. Don’t hold your breath. Right now, it’s a messy, weak option.
For the whole 16 days, there’s nothing worth chasing. If the wind is offshore on the 24th, you might get a clean little ankle-snapper, but that’s being generous. This is a stretch for the kites, not the paddle crowd.
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.
