Table - best surf conditions forecast for Linkys over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for Linkys. It’s a reef and point setup, only for advanced crew, and it’s inconsistent. The water’s sitting at 66°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The next 16 days look pretty grim. The first real surf worth mentioning doesn’t pop up until Friday the 28th of August. The morning shows a small 3ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds, and it’s glassy. The combined energy is weak (109). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That afternoon, the wind swings cross-shore and it gets choppy.
Then there’s a tiny window on the morning of Saturday the 29th of August – a 2ft swell from the ESE, clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. Again, it’s surfable but nothing to write home about.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions for days. The next blip is on Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon – a 3ft, short-period swell from the NE, glassy, but the energy is still weak (91). It’s surfable, but only just.
The rest of the time is a write-off – small, weak, and messy. Honestly, for a spot that’s inconsistent and only for advanced surfers, this is a blank run. It’s not looking good for paddle surfing; the setup might be more interesting for kite surfing when the onshore winds pick up and the swell is small and choppy. Keep your expectations low, and check back – forecasts can change.
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.
