The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. We’ve got a 16-day window on the cards for Linkys, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. This is a reef and point break that’s famously inconsistent, and the next couple of weeks are really proving that point. The good news is, when it’s on, it’s an advanced wave, but we’re looking at a long, dry spell of tiny surf before anything even gets close to interesting.
Right now, starting Wednesday the 9th of September, it’s flat. We’re talking ankle-snappers at 0.7ft to 1.0ft from the east and southeast, with periods around 9 to 10 seconds. The combined swell energy is barely a whisper, sitting at just 12 (weak energy). The water temp is a pretty normal 64° for this time of year. The wind is glassy or light on Wednesday morning, but the surf is just too small to bother with. That theme continues through Thursday, Friday, and the weekend – all tiny, all poor. We’re looking at several days of nothing but dribble.
The second week doesn’t offer much more hope. Monday the 14th starts glassy again, but still only 1ft. The swell energy is still weak, hitting 20. By Thursday the 17th, we see a bit of a jump in period to 12 seconds, but the height is still only 0.7ft, so it’s just a long-period wobble. The combined energy is still only 38 (weak). It’s not until we get to the 23rd of September that we finally see a pulse. On Wednesday the 23rd, the swell picks up to 4ft from the southeast, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy finally hits a moderate 115, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SSW at 15 mph. Thursday the 24th drops back to 3ft, but the wind goes light onshore.
So, what’s the standout? Honestly, there’s only one moment that gets a pulse going. Wednesday the 23rd of September is the only day that looks remotely rideable. The swell is a modest 4ft from the southeast, and with a clean cross-offshore wind, it’ll be the best we see all period. But don’t get too excited – it’s only a short-period swell, so the quality won't be anything special, and it’s over a week and a half away. For a break this inconsistent, this is a pretty normal blank run for the area. The forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a waiting game. Keep your eye on that 23rd, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
