The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on offer for the coming weeks.
Honestly, looking out the window, this is going to be a quiet stretch for us at Linkys. The first few days of September are flat and disappointing. We’ve got a long gap from now until the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September before we even see a wave worth paddling for, and even then, it’s not going to get the heart racing.
Thursday morning, the 3rd, we finally see some action. A small SSE swell pushes in at about 5ft (combined energy of all swells directed here is 186). The problem is the period is a short, crumbly 6 seconds. It’s an exposed reef and point set-up, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW, which keeps the surface clean. The water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. If you’re an advanced surfer and just need a paddle, Thursday afternoon could be a bit more interesting – the swell drops a touch to 4ft, but we get a glassy surface with a NNE breeze that’s dead calm. That’s a rare moment of utter tranquility, even if the waves are weak. Friday morning, the 4th, offers up a tiny bit of glassy 3ft swell from the ESE with a SSE breeze, but it’s small and gutless (combined energy of all swells directed here is 61). This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, so these small windows of glass aren't uncommon.
After that, it’s back to nothing. The second week is a total write-off. From the 5th through to the end of the 16-day window, we’re looking at waves that wouldn’t knock a candle out. The swell drops to under 3ft, and while we get some nice clean, offshore winds (like a solid WSW offshore on the 15th and 16th), the energy is pathetic, with combined energy readings dipping as low as 1 to 8. The period on the 15th afternoon stretches to a very long 15 seconds, but with only 0.3ft of energy, it’s just a flat ocean with a long-period ripple.
Honestly, there’s not one standout session in this whole run. The best on offer is that glassy Thursday afternoon on the 3rd of September for the absolute die-hard. For everyone else, keep the board waxed and wait. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope, but for now, it's a quiet time at Linkys.
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.
