The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. It's Rusty.
It’s a grim stretch ahead at Linkys, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. For the next ten days or so, you’re looking at a whole lot of flat, messy, or just plain weak dribble. There’s basically no surf worth paddling out for until the very end of the window. From now until around the 23rd of September, the ocean’s just not cooperating – small, weak swells with poor wind. A long, frustrating gap.
The first real flicker of something happens on Thursday the 24th of September. It won’t be pretty, but there will be waves. We’re talking about a small 3 ft swell coming out of the SE. The morning is set to be glassy, absolutely dead calm, which is beautiful, but the energy is weak (combined energy is only 117). It’s reef-and-point, which doesn’t need massive swell, but these waves will be small and weak. The afternoon turns clean with a light cross-offshore wind from the SSW. It’s not a standout session, more of a "if you’re desperate" kind of day. That's as good as it gets.
After that little blip, it’s back to tiny, weak slop through to the end of the period. The 25th of September morning offers a clean, offshore wind from the WSW, but the swell is a pathetic 1 ft. You’d have more fun on a boogie board.
Forget about the early week after that; it’s all small SE dribble with onshore and cross-onshore winds. Not worth a second look.
So, the honest truth? There are no standout days here. The only window that even qualifies as surfable is Thursday the 24th of September. If you’re an absolute die-hard and just need to wet your line, hit it on the morning glass-off. For everyone else, save the petrol and come back in October. The water temp is about 63°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, no surprises there.
I hate writing these blank checks, mate. But the forecast can always flip.

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.
