The Lowdown
Righto folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks. It's a slow burner, I won't lie to you. We're looking at a whole heap of nothing for the first week, with only tiny, weak, and often wind-affected dribble at Linkys (Lanuza). There's a real dry spell from now through to the end of August, so don't bother paddling out just yet. The wait might be worth it, though, if the long-range charts hold up.
The first session that's even worth a mention is Thursday the 3rd of September morning. The numbers are still low, with a combined swell energy of only 73, but we've got glassy conditions and a little 3ft swell from the ESE. It'll be clean, but you'll be scratching around. Honestly, it's not a standout.
Then we roll into Saturday the 5th of September. Now you're talking. Saturday morning at Linkys is the true highlight of this whole outlook. We've got a clean, glassy morning with a decent 4ft swell rolling in from the East. The period is a meaty 11 seconds, so there's proper energy behind it – the combined energy reading is a solid 341. That's groundswell, folks. With the offshore wind from the ENE glassing it off, this reef and point setup should be running nicely. It's more for the advanced crew, as it can be a bit punchy, and remember, it's inconsistent, so you'll need to be patient between sets. If you score a peak, it'll be a good one. Sunday the 6th of September morning is also worth a look with a clean 3ft East swell (238 energy), but the Saturday morning is the one to circle on the calendar.
Beyond that, it trails off again into smaller, weaker stuff. Pretty much a standard run for the area – when there's nothing, there's nothing. Keep your eye on that Saturday the 5th, though. That's the one.

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.
