The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long, hard look at what’s coming down the line for Linkys. I’ve got to be straight with you—this is a grim outlook. The data shows a whole lot of nothing for the next two weeks, with only a faint glimmer of hope way out at the end of the month.
The immediate picture is as flat as a pancake. For the first week and a half, from July 15th right through to the 28th, there’s simply no surf worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy barely registers, sitting below 100 for most of that stretch, and the wave comments are all "poor surf conditions." You’ll be looking at tiny dribbles of swell, mostly under 2 ft, with short periods that won’t wrap in properly. The wind is a constant problem too, mostly cross or cross-off, and even when it goes glassy on the 16th afternoon, there’s just no swell to work with. It’s a total write-off. We’re looking at a solid 13-day gap of nothing but flat, choppy, or blown-out junk.
The one and only standout, the only time these charts actually get a little excited, is on Thursday, July 30th. The morning session is the only one that scores a "2" and it’s described as "expect good surf conditions." We’re looking at a clean 3 ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and it’s going to bring some real energy. The combined energy jumps to 205, which is the only time we see a three-digit number for the whole run. The wind is a light cross-off from the south, which will make Linkys look clean and lined up. For a spot that’s described as "inconsistent" and "rarely breaks," this is a notable little pulse. Don’t get too carried away, because the afternoon turns average with a cross-shore wind and a lower score, so the window is tight. This is a promising but very distant call, so keep your fingers crossed that the forecasts hold.
Keep in mind the water is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, at 68°F, which is nice for the few of you who might brave the flat spells.
That’s the long and short of it. A long, dry spell, and then a single, potential morning of glory on the 30th.
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.
Linkys is 6 km (4 miles) from Hampton. If you plan a vacation in New Hampshire, look for hotels and other accommodation in Hampton. Hampton has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
