The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you about Linkys.
We've got a pretty grim outlook for this stretch of coast over the next 16 days. I'm looking at a long, flat run where the ocean just isn't cooperating. The wave energy is incredibly weak, barely registering (combined energy values are all under a hundred, like 89, 78, 64 – that's barely a ripple). For the next week and a half, through to the 10th of August, it's just poor surf conditions, day after day.
First up, on the 26th of July, we have a small 3ft SE swell, but with a short period of just 7 seconds and onshore wind, it's messy and not worth paddling out. This theme holds through the end of July – tiny swells, poor direction, and cross-on or gusty winds. The morning of the 1st of August has a moment of glass, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft – you could get wet, but you won't be surfing. From there, it's a desert. For nearly two weeks we get nothing but 1ft to 2ft slop with mostly cross or onshore breezes. The 9th of August has a 0.3ft swell with a long 11-second period, but it's a whisper on the water.
Honestly, there's no standout day. No window where it gets good. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon of the 30th of July with 19 mph north winds and lumpy conditions might be more interesting than a paddle. But for a surfer? It’s a write-off. Linkys is a reef and point, it needs a proper push from the NE – the optimum – and we’re getting tiny inconsistent dribbles from the SE. This is one of those blank runs that’s just normal for the area sometimes.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, but it doesn't matter when there's nothing to ride.
Hang in there. Sometimes a drought breaks quick.

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.
