The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our little corner of the world.
To be brutally honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and lacklustre for Linkys (reef and point). We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions ahead. The water temp is sitting at 63°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The outlook kicks off on the 13th of September with a tiny 3ft swell from the SSE and a pathetic 4-second period – that’s just wind chop. The combined energy is only 49, so there’s nothing to get excited about. Light cross-shore winds won’t help either. It’s a no-go.
The following days are more of the same. Monday the 14th has a cleaner morning with a light offshore, but the swell is a meagre 2ft. Tuesday and Wednesday are tiny, with heights barely reaching 2ft. Thursday through Saturday are all below 2ft, with periods of glassy conditions on the 19th, but there’s simply no swell to work with. We’re looking at a solid week of flatness.
Then, things start to get a bit more interesting towards the 20th of September. Sunday the 20th sees a jump in size, with a 7ft swell from the NE in the morning, and 7ft from the ENE in the afternoon. The combined energy hits 356 and 401 respectively – that’s moderate to strong energy. However, the period is a short 6-7 seconds, which means it’s going to be lumpy and disorganised. Cross-onshore and cross-shore winds in the moderate breeze range will chop it up. This is not a clean, well-shaped wave. For the experienced surfer, it might be worth a look, but for most, it’ll be a battle. At over 7ft, this is for experts only.
Monday the 21st drops back to 5ft from the ENE with an 8-second period. The combined energy is 240. It’s still a bit of a mess, but the morning has light cross-shore winds which might clean it up a touch. It’s still only a marginal call at best.
After that, we slide back into small and poor conditions for the rest of the week. There’s a brief flicker on the 25th of September (Friday) with a 4ft swell from the ESE, 8-second period, and light offshore winds in the morning. The combined energy is 196, and it’s clean. This is probably the best of the entire forecast window. It’s still only a 4ft wave, but with clean conditions, it’ll be surfable and probably fun on the better sets. The crowd factor at Linkys is ‘often’, so expect some company.
The 26th of September (Saturday) offers similar 3ft swell from the E with a 9-second period, and light cross-offshore winds. Another clean, surfable day, but nothing to write home about.
After that, it fades right back to flatness by the 28th.
So, what’s the standout? Honestly, the best bet is the morning of Friday the 25th of September. It’s clean, with a small but rideable 4ft swell from the ESE. The morning of Saturday the 26th is a close second. Both are clean and offer the most potential in an otherwise bleak forecast.
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.
