The Lowdown
Right then, I’ve taken a good look at the charts for Linkys. It's a reef and point setup, and it's usually pretty tricky to get it working just right – it's inconsistent, so you have to be patient. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is bang on average for this time of year.
The forecast starts on Friday, August 28th, with a tiny 2ft swell from the SE. It's cross-off shore, so the surface is clean, but the energy is weak. It's surfable, but barely. Saturday morning, August 29th, is probably the best of a very poor bunch early on. We get a glassy 2ft SE swell, period at 8 seconds. It's tiny, but the calm conditions mean it'll be clean. The energy is still low. After that, the surf drops off a cliff. From Sunday, August 30th, through to the end of the first week of September, it's a dead zone. We're looking at flat spells, onshore winds, and periods of heavy rain. The swell barely reaches 1ft, and the combined energy is often in the single digits or teens. Honestly, it's a write-off for paddle surfing.
The only glimmer of hope in the whole 16-day window comes right at the end. On Friday, September 11th, we see a little bump of 2ft to 2ft SE swell, but the period jumps to 11 seconds. The combined energy finally climbs into the moderate range. The wind is light and cross-on, which isn't ideal, but it's a start. Then Saturday, September 12th, is the standout. The swell shows 3ft from the SE, with a period of 11 seconds, and the energy is solid. The wind goes glassy by the afternoon, which is a huge positive for a spot like this. It's still small, and the long period (11 seconds) at a point break should mean some nice, lined-up waves. It's the best on offer, but it's a week and a half away, so keep your fingers crossed the forecasts hold.
For now, the kites might have a bit more fun with the onshore winds, but for surfers, it's a long wait for a very small window of hope.

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.
