The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s get real about Linkys (Big Island) for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, the surf forecast looks pretty bleak for a while. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak, and mostly messy surf. You’ll be waiting a good while before there’s anything worth paddling out for.
The water is sitting at 64°F, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year. It’s noticeable but nothing crazy—just grab a thicker suit if you’re sensitive to it.
The first real chance of anything rideable pops up on Saturday the 15th. The morning is still pretty poor with light rain and a small 3ft swell, but it's not doing much. The afternoon is where we see a slight uptick: a 2ft ESE swell with a gentle offshore wind. It’s surfable, but it’s far from good. The swell period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak and crumbly. It’s a beach and reef setup, so with that small, short-period swell, it might be more interesting for a kite than a paddleboard.
Looking ahead to Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th, we’ve got more of the same—small, short-period swells (2ft) with cross-onshore winds. Nothing to get excited about. The combined energy during this entire stretch is weak, staying in the low double digits or even single digits. We’re talking about energy readings between 2 and 67 here, so there’s just no power in the water.
The bottom line: this is a pretty empty run for surf. The consistency is poor, and even when a wave shows up, the quality is lacking. It’s one of those stretches where you might be better off finding another hobby for a week or two. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say keep your board in the car just in case, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
