The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get straight into what's on offer for the Linkys stretch.
Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and ordinary for Linkys. This is a reef and point setup, and it's inconsistent even on a good day, so when there's no swell, there's really nothing doing. The first real chance to grab a wave is Friday afternoon, September 4th. That's our starting point.
So, Friday afternoon we get a tiny 3 ft ESE swell at 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (64). It's a glassy, clean 3 mph south wind, which is a major positive for the conditions, but the wave size is just ankle to knee high. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 65°. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary. The next morning, Saturday the 5th, any hope is gone—it's even smaller at 2 ft with a poor cross-on breeze. The afternoon picks up a bit to 3 ft, but it's still cross-on and messy. Not worth paddling out for.
Sunday the 6th sees a slightly bigger pulse of 4 ft ENE swell, and the wave energy bumps up to moderate (158), but the wind is a cross-onshore breeze, making it choppy and poor. The pattern stays quiet through the start of the next week. Monday and Tuesday the 7th and 8th are tiny, clean, but with waves under 2 ft and energy in the double digits, you're just floating around. Wednesday the 9th is flat.
There's a gap of several days here with no real recommendations. The next glimmer of hope is Monday morning, September 14th. It's a glassy 2 ft ESE swell at 9 seconds. The energy is still weak (53), but with that glassy southwest wind, the conditions will be clean. It's surfable, but "very ordinary" is the word. Tuesday the 15th is a repeat: glassy winds but a tiny 3 ft swell. The combined energy is still weak (85).
The best on offer in this whole 16-day window is a hard call because nothing stands out. The most rideable shot will be either Friday afternoon the 4th or Monday morning the 14th, purely because of the glassy, offshore winds. If you're desperate for a clean, small wave session, those are your windows. But don't expect any power or push. The swell direction is ESE, which is cross to the optimum NE direction for this break, so it's not going to wrap in cleanly.
After the 15th, it goes flat again. The 17th and 18th of September have a tiny 0.7 ft swell with a very long period (13 seconds), which is a groundswell, but 0.7 ft won't break. The energy is negligible. It's a long, quiet run.
So, in short: it's a lean period. A few tiny, clean windows but nothing to get excited about. The forecast can always change, but right now, you're better off checking the tide pools.
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.
