The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle at Linkys. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing but tiny, weak waves for the next week and a half, so don’t get your hopes up for any decent sessions before the 19th of August.
The whole run starts off flat. From Saturday the 8th to Tuesday the 18th, we’re looking at a whole lot of days with swell heights barely hitting 1.0 ft. The combined energy is just a whisper, sitting between 3 and 18 for most of that time – that’s nothing to write home about. It’s small, weak, and just not worth paddling out for. There’s a lot of glassy or very clean conditions in there, like on the morning of the 12th, but with zero swell to work with, it’s all just a tease. You’ll be sitting on a flat ocean.
Finally, things start to show a pulse on Wednesday the 19th. The morning brings a 1 ft swell from the SE with a period of 13 seconds, and the combined energy bumps up to 76. It’s small, but it’s the first sign of life. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. The wind is a clean cross-off from the SSW, so the surf will be clean, but it’s still very ordinary. Don’t get too excited yet.
The real standout, the only one worth pointing your board at, is the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. We see a 3 ft groundswell from the SE, period of 12 seconds, and a combined energy of 280 – that’s moderate energy, starting to feel like a real swell. The wind is glassy, dead calm from the ENE. This is your best chance for a clean, fun surf. It’s a reef and point break, so that long period groundswell will wrap in nicely, offering better shape and longer gaps between sets. It’s an inconsistent spot, so this is a rare opportunity. Expect crowds, as it’s often busy here. For beginners, it’s just about manageable, but it’s a solid peak for intermediates.
Sunday the 23rd morning is also a solid option with a 4 ft SE swell, clean offshore wind from the WSW, and combined energy rocketing up to 397. That’s a decent, punchy swell. The size is getting into the intermediate range, but the wind is perfect, so it’ll be clean.
Bottom line: don’t bother until the 19th, and if you can only pick one session, make it the 22nd morning. It’s the best of a slow spell.
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.
