The Lowdown
Right folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Linkys.
Straight up, I’m not going to sugar-coat it: the next 16 days are a write-off. There’s simply nothing to get excited about. The forecast is a long, flat stretch of tiny waves and poor surf conditions, with no real standout windows. You’re looking at a gap of over two weeks with no worthwhile surf – the first recommendation doesn’t even appear because the conditions are so poor throughout.
The first few days, from Thursday the 6th of August through to the following week, are all about ankle-snappers. Thursday morning has a tiny 0.3ft SE swell with a short period of 8 seconds and combined energy of just 5 (weak). The water is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 64°F with a -2°F anomaly. Wind is light and offshore, so it’s clean, but there’s just no energy to work with. Friday morning the 7th goes glassy with a 0.3ft Easterly swell, but again, it’s pathetic. Saturday morning the 8th bumps up to a 1.0ft SE swell, still no good.
As we move into the second week, the swell barely picks up. By Friday the 14th of August, we get a 2ft SSE swell with a period of just 5 seconds (short period, weak and choppy) and combined energy of 36 (still weak). The wind is cross-onshore, so it’s messy. That’s about as big as it gets, and it’s still poor. The rest of the fortnight is more of the same: tiny 0.3ft to 1.0ft swells, with only a few moments of glassy conditions, like on Saturday morning the 15th and Sunday morning the 16th, but the swell is too small to bother.
Honestly, this is a classic blank run for Linkys. It’s a reef and point break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and with an exposed NE swell window and a forecast that’s delivering nothing but dribble from the SE and ESE, there’s no hope. The best advice I can give is to not bother paddling out. The combined energy hits 30 on the 21st of August, but it’s still a weak 1.0ft, so even that’s not worth a mention. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s time to wax the car instead of the board.
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.
