The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Linkys over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the first week and a half is a write-off. There’s just nothing doing. Day after day of tiny, weak swell with poor energy, and the wind is all over the shop. The combined energy of all swells is often in the single digits or low 20s, barely a ripple. You’ll be sitting on your board doing nothing. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there.
Now, hold on to your leash, because Saturday the 15th of August things suddenly get real. We see a pulse of solid swell arrive, with the morning offering 12 ft from the ENE. The combined energy jumps right up to 1341. There’s a light cross-onshore breeze, so it’ll have a bit of texture, but it’s rideable. The afternoon is where it’s at though – the swell pushes to 16 ft, still from the ENE, and the energy skyrockets to 4947. The wind goes glassy. That’s a proper session. The swell period is 10 seconds, so it’s got some grunt. This is only for experienced surfers, no question. It’s a reef and point break, so it should handle that size, but it’s also inconsistent, so don’t expect a wave every minute. The crowd is likely to be an issue at a spot this good when it’s firing.
The next morning, Sunday the 16th, the swell is still hanging on at 12 ft from the ENE with 2563 of energy, but the wind is back to a light cross-onshore, so it won’t be as clean as the Saturday afternoon glass-off.
The standout is crystal clear: Saturday afternoon, August 15th. That 16 ft glassy session is the one to circle on your calendar. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecast, but if it holds, Linkys will be absolutely pumping.
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.
