Table - best surf conditions forecast for Linkys over the next 16 days.
Alright, let's have a real look at this. I've been over the numbers for Linkys and, mate, it is flat out grim. There's not a proper wave in sight for the whole run.
Overall Pattern
This entire 16-day window is a drought. We're talking tiny, gutless swells with nothing but poor conditions to go with them. There is no standout session. The water temp is about 60°F on Friday the 10th, which is what you'd expect for July, but the surf just isn't there.
The Detail
Friday the 10th is the "best" of a bad lot, and it's still rubbish. The morning shows a 2ft swell from the ESE, but with a short 8-second period. The wind is a light cross-off from the NW, keeping it clean, but the energy is a measly 59. It’s surfable, but barely worth paddling out for.
It gets worse from there. Saturday the 11th drops to 1ft, Sunday the 12th to 1ft. The wind is onshore or cross-shore, so it's all chop and no power. We get a few days of clean but microscopic surf from the 13th to the 16th. Nothing is breaking with any push.
A long, flat spell opens up from around the 17th through the 25th of July. The data shows wave energy in the low single digits or teens, with heights well below 3ft. The swell direction is mostly from the SE, but the period is all over the place, from a very short 5 seconds to a very long 16 seconds. Even with that long period on the 24th, the height is only 0.3ft, so there's no power behind it.
Around Monday the 20th of July, we finally see a jump to 6ft from the ESE, hitting 7ft in the afternoon. The energy jumps to 383, so there's juice. But the wind is onshore from the ENE, the period is short at 6-7 seconds, and the report says “poor surf conditions.” That much wind and short-period junk on a reef-and-point setup like Linkys is a washout. It would be better for kite-surfing than paddle-surfing.
The Verdict on the Best
There isn't one. The best you get is Friday morning, July 10th, for a clean but tiny knee-high wave. This spot is inconsistent anyway, so a stretch like this isn't a surprise. Forecasts can flip, but for now, find something else to do.

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.
