The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple weeks.
Honestly, it’s a grim stretch for a while. The first ten days or so are mostly a write-off, with no decent surf to speak of. For a spot like Linkys that’s already inconsistent, this kind of flat, grovelly run is pretty normal, so don’t get too disheartened. It’s a long blank patch from now practically up to the 23rd of September. Things finally start to get their act together right at the tail end of the week after next.
Right now, and for the foreseeable future, the swell is tiny – ankle to knee high at best, and the direction (SE to ESE) is all wrong for this NE-favouring reef and point. The winds are messy too, cross or cross-off, not helping the tiny little lines. The combined energy sitting at around 14 to 30, that’s barely a whisper in the water. Water temp is 65°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Around the 21st of September, the swell does pick up a bit, to about 4ft to 4ft, and the combined energy bumps up into the moderate range (109 to 190), but the period is short – six to nine seconds – and the cross-shore/onshore wind keeps it lumpy and poor. Not the kind of day you’d paddle out for.
The real standout sneaks in on Thursday the 24th of September. That morning, we get a clean 4ft swell from the East, with a nicer 10-second period, and a sweet offshore wind from the WSW. The combined energy hits 268 (moderate), which is the best energy we’ve seen all forecast. The direction (E) isn’t perfect for Linkys’s optimum NE, but it’s close enough to wrap in, and that offshore wind will groom it up proper. This is your session. Later that afternoon stays clean with lighter winds, but the morning looks the pick.
The Friday after that (25th) is still okay, with a smaller 3ft east swell and offshore winds, but the energy drops off a bit. Still fun, just not the same quality as Thursday.
So, narrow it down: if you’re hanging for a wave, mark Thursday the 24th of September. It’s the only true standout in the whole run. Don’t hold your breath for the rest.
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.
