The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk Linkys.
Honestly, the next 16 days are pretty flat and frustrating. This is an exposed reef and point, but the swell is almost all on the wrong angle – we need it from the NE but it’s coming from the SE and ESE. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
From Friday August 21st through Saturday August 22nd, it’s all poor conditions – tiny swell, onshore winds, combined swell energy at 53 to 89 (weak). Not worth getting wet.
Sunday afternoon August 23rd is the first clean moment. Only 1.0ft from the ESE with a 12-second period, glassy wind, combined energy 59 (weak). Knee-high dribbles at best.
Monday August 24th morning: 3ft from the SE at 6 seconds, light cross-offshore breeze, clean. Combined energy 112 (moderate). Still very ordinary. That afternoon goes to 1ft from the SE, 11-second period, light offshore. Clean but tiny.
The rest of that week drags on with most days showing poor surf conditions, tiny waves, and combined energy below 89 (weak). Tuesday August 25th and Wednesday August 26th are clean but swells are 1.0ft to 1ft – nothing.
Saturday August 29th morning: glassy, 2ft from the SE at 8 seconds, combined energy 55 (weak). Small and clean.
Monday August 31st morning is the best of the lot: 4ft from the SSE, period just 5 seconds (short period windswell), light cross-offshore breeze, clean. Combined energy 89 (weak). It’s small but the biggest in the window so far.
Tuesday September 1st morning: 3ft from the SE, gentle offshore, combined energy 65 – tiny.
The only real bump comes Friday September 4th morning: 6ft from the SSE, 6-second period, moderate cross-offshore breeze. Combined energy 168 (moderate). That’s the biggest swell of the entire run. At 6ft it’s still on the small side and short-period, so it’ll be crumbly, but it’s clean. For a beginner or intermediate, that’s your best shot.
Overall, no standout sessions. The inconsistent, rarely-breaking nature of Linkys is on full display. If you’re a kite surfer, some of those onshore days might be your jam. For paddle surfing, it’s mostly a long flat spell with a handful of tiny, clean windows.
Forecasts can change, but right now it’s grim. 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.
