The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Linkys has in store over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty grim start. This spot is notoriously inconsistent, and you’ll see exactly why over the first nine days – from Monday the 10th of August through to about Tuesday the 18th – there’s nothing doing. The surf is flat to near-flat, with tiny 0.3ft to 2ft slop that’s barely moving. Combined swell energy sits in the low single and double digits (7, 4, 3… up to 99 over that whole stretch), so there’s just no power. Winds are often clean or glassy, but with no swell, it’s a total bust.

Things finally twitch to life around Wednesday the 19th of August. The morning gives you a tiny 2ft SE swell at 11 seconds, combined energy 104 (moderate energy), and glassy conditions with a light WSW 3 mph breeze. It’s surfable but very ordinary – a 2ft wave isn’t offering much, but at least you’re not staring at flat water. By the afternoon, it bumps to 3ft SE, 11 seconds, with 180 energy and a light S cross-off keeping it clean. Still ordinary, but it’s a start.

The real window opens Thursday the 20th of August. Early morning at Linkys is easily the pick of the entire forecast. You’ve got a clean 3ft SE swell, 12-second period, and light WSW offshore wind at 9 mph. That offshore flow will have the waves peeling nicely on this reef-and-point setup. The combined energy hits 258 (moderate-to-strong), so there’s some substance behind it. Water temp is around 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus. This is a reef and point break, and with a 12-second period, the swell will wrap in and offer decent shape, not too straight or unruly. The optimum swell direction from the guidance is NE, but we’re getting SE, so it’s not a perfect angle – still, the offshore wind makes a massive difference. Crowds are often a thing here, and with this being the only real highlight, expect a few locals jostling for the peak.

After that, things taper off. Friday the 21st has a 2ft pulse in the morning but with a shorter 9-second period and light WNW cross-off, combined energy drops to 70 – weak. The weekend brings onshore ENE winds and poor 2ft junk with 7-8 second periods, combined energy in the 40-60 range. The final days into the 24th and 25th show tiny 0.7-1ft leftover SE swell with some glassy moments but nothing worth getting wet for.

So, if you’re looking to paddle out, Thursday the 20th of August is your day. The rest of the run is a long sit-and-wait.

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.
