The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on the cards. I gotta be straight with you – it's gonna be a quiet stretch ahead. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat, so if you've got a shortboard, you might be better off leaving it in the car for a while.

We're looking at Linkys, and honestly, the story is the same day after day. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, with most days showing nothing above 1 ft. The combined energy is weak, just a measly 2 to 30 most of the time, so there's just no push. The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 66° for the time of year, not too chilly, not too warm.

For the first week, from August 5th through to the 12th, it's all "poor surf conditions" with a score of zero. You might catch a few knee-high sliders on Friday the 7th afternoon with a 2 ft swell from the SE, but with a cross-shore wind and a short period of 8 seconds, it's not going to be anything to write home about. The light breeze on the 9th with offshore wind will make the water glassy, but there's barely a wave to ride.

As we roll into the second week, from August 13th to the 20th, the pattern doesn't change much. We get a little bump on the 13th morning with 1 ft and an onshore wind, but the energy is still low (22) and the period is short (8 seconds). There's one odd morning on the 15th with a 2 ft NE swell, but it's a windswell with a tiny 4-second period – just a messy bump. The rest of the days see similar tiny swells of 1 ft or less.

Honestly, across the whole 16-day window, there's not a single standout. No real swells, no good windows. The only highlight is that the wind is often light, and there are a few mornings with glassy or clean conditions, but without any swell to work with, it's all just a flat calm. It's a blank run, and for this spot, that's pretty normal. Forecasts can change though, so don't ditch the board just yet.

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.
