The Lowdown

Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Linkys over the next sixteen days.

Right from the start, it’s a rough go. From Saturday 18 July all the way through to the morning of Thursday 23 July, there’s hardly anything to ride. The first few days are a total bust – tiny 0.2ft to 0.3ft swell with cross-off winds. The energy is next to nothing. You’re better off staying dry.

Then on Thursday 23 July morning, we get a little break. The swell hits 3ft from the southeast, period at 8 seconds, and the combined energy is 145 – weak to moderate. The wind goes glassy, which is a treat. The water temp is 65°F, right on average for the season. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and the score is low. It’s clean, but the swell is tiny and short-period. Linkys is a reef and point break, and it’s inconsistent, so this might be one of those rare days it offers a few little waves. Don’t expect much.

The next few days are a mixed bag. The afternoon of Thursday 23 July gets messy with a cross-shore breeze on the same 4ft swell. Friday 24 July and Saturday 25 July are mostly cross-onshore, with swell around 3ft from the southeast. The best of the rest looks like Sunday 26 July afternoon – the swell comes in at 4ft from the southeast, period still short at 8 seconds, but the combined energy is 195, which is moderate. The wind is light cross-off, and the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not a standout, but it’s the best you’ll see.

The last week of July into August is a grind. From Monday 27 July onward, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, the swell stays small and weak. There’s a pulse on Thursday 30 July morning with 4ft swell from the east and 8-second period, and the combined energy hits 310 – moderate. But the wind is cross-on from the northeast, and the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.” It’s messy.

If I had to pick one or two moments, it’s Thursday 23 July morning for the glassy conditions and very small waves, and maybe Sunday 26 July afternoon for the slightly better energy and cleaner wind. But honestly, neither is a real standout. This is a long, quiet spell. For a beginner, anything over 5ft might be too much, but we never get close to that. For an expert, there’s nothing to get excited about.

In summary, the surf is mostly poor, with long gaps of nothing. The best we get is ordinary, clean, and small. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, 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.
