The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk in feet and miles per hour, guys.
It’s pretty rough out there. For the next 16 days, Linkys is looking like a write-off. I wouldn’t get your hopes up.
From Tuesday the 22nd all the way through to Monday the 3rd of August, it's a long, flat stretch. Tiny, weak swells are all we’ve got. There’s a tiny blip on Thursday the 23rd in the morning with a 3ft SE swell, but the period is just 8 seconds, and the wind is clean, so it’s still pretty ordinary. The combined swell energy hits a max of 102 (moderate energy) that day, but the wave quality is poor.
The swell is coming from the SE, which is the wrong direction for Linkys. This reef and point break (Linkys) really needs a strong NE swell to work. Plus, it’s inconsistent and often crowded.
From the 30th it gets even smaller, with waves around 2ft to 3ft and short periods. The combined energy stays weak, with the highest being 170 (moderate energy) on Friday the 31st in the morning with a 3ft SE swell and a 10-second period. But again, just ordinary conditions.
The water temp on the 21st of July was 61°F, which is about 4°F colder than normal. That’s a bit of a cold wake-up call if you decide to go in.
Bottom line: it's a dead period. No standouts. This kind of flat run can happen here, but it's a bummer when it does. With the moderate cross-shore winds and choppy conditions, it might be more fun for the kite surfers. For surfers, I’d say take a break.
Stay patient.
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.
