The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee because I’m about to give it to you straight. This is a tough one.
Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for Linkys (Maldives) and I gotta be honest – this 16-day stretch is a write-off. There’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for. Not a single recommendation in the whole run, and that’s a fact.
We’ve got a bit of a gap right at the start. The first few days are just no good. The water’s sitting at a chilly 62° which is a whopping 5° colder than normal for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual and will feel noticeably grim on the skin.
The swell is tiny, weak, and messy. We see a pulse of 5ft on the 29th coming from the ESE at a short, gutless 6 seconds, and the combined wave energy is only 135 – that’s weak. But the wind is a cross-onshore from the east at 12 mph, which just chops it all up. Thursday the 30th has a bit more size, 6ft from the ENE, but again 6-second period and a fresh cross-onshore breeze. It’s lumpy, poor surf.
Friday the 31st shows an incoming 2ft swell from the SE, but with a workable 10-second period. However, the energy plummets to 175 and drops fast. By the weekend and into the first week of August we’re looking at knee-high dribble, if that. The combined energy values are mostly between 14 and 63, which is just pathetic.
There’s a period around the 3rd where the wind goes offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, which would normally get me excited, but with only 3ft of weak 5-second SE windswell (38 energy), it’s just not gonna break with any sort of shape.
Through the second week, from the 4th to the 13th of August, it’s the same story – flat spells, tiny 0.3ft to 1.0ft swells, and a lot of clean faces that will look perfect but have zero push. There is a blink on the 12th afternoon with a 4ft from the NE at a dreadful 5 seconds – that’s just a bump of windswell with cross-shore wind.
Best on offer? There isn’t one. Nothing even comes close. The only positive is that we get some glassy conditions on the 7th of August, but the swell is 1.0ft. It’s a total bust.
For an exposed reef-and-point break like Linkys that’s usually inconsistent, a blank run like this is more normal for the area. It’s one of those times you just check the charts, shake your head, and wait for the next system.
Stay patient.

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.
