The Lowdown
Righto, let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a pretty flat spell for Linkys, so don't be rushing to grab your board just yet.
We're looking at a 16-day window that's gonna be a long, slow grind. The first decent enough wave we see is a tiny 3 ft SE swell on Thursday morning, July 23rd. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NW, which is good, but with only 73 units of energy, it's a weak little puff. The water temp is about average for the season, nothing to write home about. It's surfable, but only just. After that, it's a long stretch of nothing good. You're looking at days and days of small, weak, and messy conditions. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the swell height barely gets above 3 ft. The energy readings are all in the double digits, often well under 100, which is very weak. There's a little blip on Tuesday morning, July 28th, with a 3 ft SE swell and glassy conditions – that's clean, but still tiny. The best chance for a wave that's actually got some shape is on Wednesday morning, July 29th, when the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the SE, but the wind is straight onshore from the ENE, ruining it. The energy is 169, which is still weak to moderate. That is a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle one.
The only other day that stands out, and I mean barely, is Monday morning, August 3rd. We get a 3 ft SE swell with a light cross-offshore breeze from the W, keeping it clean. The energy is 77, so weak. Then Tuesday morning, August 4th, is glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 3 ft from the SSE with a period of only 5 seconds, which is just a bump. It's a tough run. The forecast is pretty reliable for the first week, but the long-range stuff for the second week is just as flat. No standout days, no proper swell. If you're desperate, you might get a knee-high wave on a glassy morning, but honestly, I'd be finding something else to do. This is one of those times where the area just goes quiet.

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.
