Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long, hard look at what Linkys has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this ain’t looking like a classic stretch. We’ve got a whole heap of days where the ocean’s just not cooperating, so let’s get into the nitty-gritty.
We’re kicking off Friday, the 3rd of July, and right away it’s a tough pill to swallow. The swell is tiny, only 1ft from the southeast with a short period. The wind is a cross-offshore, but the energy is weak (22), and the conditions are just “poor.” That’s the story for the first week, honestly. Saturday and Sunday are more of the same – flat little 1ft swell and clean winds but no power behind it. On Sunday morning we get a moment of glassy conditions, but even then, the wave comment is poor. The combined energy is barely ticking over (18-26), so you’re really just bobbing around out there. By Tuesday, the 7th, the wind picks up from the ESE at 19 mph and it’s cross-onshore, making a mess of the 2ft swell. There’s a bit more energy (35) but the period drops to a terrible 4 seconds – that’s pure wind chop. Not worth a paddle.
We finally see a glimmer of hope on Wednesday, the 8th of July. Swell bumps up to 3ft from the southeast, period is still short at 6 seconds, but the energy reading is getting a bit more interesting at 86. Still, the wind is cross-onshore and it’s fairly choppy, so it’s not a recommendation. The whole first week is a write-off, I’m afraid.
The next week doesn't offer much relief either. Saturday, the 11th, sees the biggest number of the whole run – a 4ft swell from the SSE, but it’s a pathetic 5-second period, and the wind is cross-shore. The energy reads 85, but it’s junky. For an advanced reef and point break like Linkys, that short period just won’t wrap in nicely. It’s a pass.
The only day that even gets a “surfable” mention is Thursday morning, the 16th of July. We get 3ft from the southeast, period 7 seconds, with a clean cross-offshore breeze (6 mph). The energy is 88, which is the highest we’ll see. It’s still not great, but for this stretch, it’s the one spot where you might actually get a few crumbly lefts to yourself if you’re desperate. Don’t expect any barrels, but you’ll get wet.
After that, it fizzles out into tiny, long-period stragglers (0.3ft, 13-14 seconds) with clean winds, but absolutely no power (energy down to 6-11). The water temp is sitting at about 64°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
To be crystal clear: there are no standout days. The entire 16-day window is a bust for quality waves at Linkys. This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a true reflection of that – a long, blank run that is normal for this area. Keep your board in the car, but don’t rush.
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.
