The Lowdown
Right, folks, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. I’m Rusty, and I’ve got to be straight with you – the outlook for Linkys over the next 16 days is a real heartbreaker. We’re looking at a long, flat stretch here, with no decent surf on the cards. The first suggestion of anything rideable doesn’t even pop up until Monday the 3rd of August, and even then, it’s just barely surfable. That’s over a week of nothing but dribble.
From Friday the 24th of July right through, we’ve got tiny, weak swell. The combined wave energy is mostly in the weak range, often under 100, with the biggest reading being a moderate 117 on Tuesday the 28th of July morning, but that’s paired with a short, weak 7-second period and poor conditions. The wind is a real problem too, mostly cross or cross-on, keeping things messy. There’s a couple of glassy moments on Friday the 24th morning and Friday the 31st afternoon, but the swell is too small to do anything with – 2 ft and 1.0 ft respectively.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year at Linkys, so no drama there.
The one tiny glimmer comes on Monday the 3rd of August afternoon. We finally see a small bump of 3 ft from the SE with a 7-second period, and the combined energy hits 74. The wind is a clean cross-off from the S at 9 mph, which is a relief. It’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and it only scores a 1 out of 10. Don’t get your hopes up – it’s small, short period, and the quality is still poor. For a reef and point break like Linkys, that short period swell won’t really shape up well.
The rest of the forecast after that is equally grim. We’ve got a few more clean days with light offshore winds, like Tuesday the 4th of August morning and Sunday the 2nd of August morning, but the swell is pathetic – 1 ft and 2 ft. It’s just not enough to push through.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a paddle, you’re out of luck. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for Linkys. This is a spot that’s already inconsistent, and this run of flat, onshore junk is just what happens here sometimes. The kite surfers might get a look in on the windier, chunkier days, but for us wave riders, it’s a big fat zero.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, but for now, hang up the board.
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.
