The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s cut the crap – the next two weeks at Linkys are a total dud. We’re talking mostly ankle-to-waist high dribble with lousy wind. The combined wave energy barely ever hits the moderate mark, and when it does, conditions are trash.
Starting Wednesday the 16th through late September, swell hangs around 0.2ft to a touch over 5ft, but the wind is almost never your friend. The only half-decent moment is Saturday morning the 19th – a weak 3ft NE swell, glassy, but with a stupid-short 5-second period. Combined energy is a pitiful 93. Not worth paddling out unless you’re itching for a float.
Late in the first week, Thursday the 24th morning shows some hope – 5ft from the ESE with clean cross-off wind – but it’s still called marginal. Combined energy hits 244 (moderate). That afternoon jumps to 5ft, still clean, with 348 combined energy, but it’s labeled poor.
Saturday the 26th morning is your best bet in the whole 16 days. Around 4ft from the ESE, 9-second period, glassy. Combined energy 172 (moderate). It’s surfable, but that’s about the best compliment I can give it.
Come October 1st, we get a longer period swell from the SE – 13 seconds – but only 2ft of height, and onshore wind from the NE at 30 km/h (that’s 18 mph), making a lumpy mess. Combined energy 167 (moderate), but the quality is shot.
No standouts here. The swell never gets over 5ft, so it’s not a beginner’s worry, but the quality is so poor no one’s having fun. Water temp’s about average. Crowds at Linkys are “often” but with this forecast, you’ll be alone. Honestly, this looks better for kite boarding than surfing. Save your time.

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.
