The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, I’ve had a look at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I’ll be honest with you… it’s looking grim for a fair while.
We’ve got Linkys (this is a reef-and-point set-up, tricky, advanced only) and for the first week of the forecast, it’s a flat-out no-go. The water’s sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 70°, but that’s about the only thing that’s not disappointing. From Monday the 10th right through to the end of the first week, we’re looking at nada. Zilch. A big fat zero. Tiny, ankle-snapping 0.3ft to 1.0ft swell with really weak energy readings – we’re talking single digits and low teens (6 to 22) – just not enough to push a wave. The wind is mostly light, sometimes glassy, even offshore on the 16th, but there’s nothing to ride. It’s a painful wait.
Now, we do eventually see a pulse. The first glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Wednesday the 19th. The swell finally bumps up to 3ft from the SE with a period of 12 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 225 (moderate). That’s a long-period groundswell, which suits a reef and point like Linkys perfectly. The wind is a clean cross-off from the S at 6 mph – that’ll keep the faces tidy. It’s the only real standout in the whole run. The score is low, but if you’re an advanced surfer and you’re desperate, that morning session is your best and only real bet. The afternoon of the 19th gets too windy, and the rest of the week fades back into mediocrity. The swell sticks around at 2ft to 2ft, but the wind gets messy by the 22nd, and the period drops off, making it short and crumbly. There’s another small window on the afternoon of the 21st with a clean offshore, but it’s only 2ft.
So, to be blunt: the 16-day outlook is a desert with one tiny oasis. The morning of Wednesday the 19th is where you need to be. After that, it’s back to staring at a flat ocean. This area can have blank runs, and this is a classic one. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
