The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s on the cards for Linkys over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a lean patch ahead. This is a reef and point setup that needs a specific direction to really fire, and the ocean’s just not cooperating right now.
We start off on Thursday morning, September 3rd with a small pulse of swell. Linkys is seeing a 2 ft SE swell, period of 9 seconds, and the wind is dead glassy from the WSW. That glassy condition is a huge positive, so the surface will be clean, but the wave energy is weak at only 69. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is pretty average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
We get another chance on Friday morning, September 4th. The swell bumps up slightly to 3 ft from the ESE, period dropping to 7 seconds. Again, glassy conditions from the SW. It’s a little more push, but that short period means it’s gonna be fat and a bit gutless. That’s about as good as it gets for a while.
From Saturday, September 5th through to Sunday, September 13th, it’s a real dry spell. You’ll see sporadic waves, but the wind is generally onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell heights bounce around between a tiny 0.3 ft and 5 ft. The combined energy barely cracks 100 for most of it, and even when it hits 197 on the Sunday morning, the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. There’s a couple of glassy mornings in there, like Sunday, September 13th with a glassy 1 ft, but there’s just no wave size to work with. It’s a long, frustrating gap where you’d be better off doing something else.
Things get slightly more interesting at the very end of the window. On Wednesday, September 16th, we see a modest spike. The afternoon shows a 4 ft swell from the ENE with a 6-second period, and the combined energy nudges up to 136. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it’ll have some texture, but the short period means it’s not going to hold shape well at Linkys. It doesn’t match the optimum NE direction for the break either, and on top of that, this spot is inconsistent and can be crowded at times – likely to be a bit of a lottery.
If there is a true standout in this weak period, it would have to be the Thursday morning, September 3rd session. It’s the only time where glassy conditions meet a swell that's at least rideable. The 2 ft is tiny, but with zero wind, you could find a clean little corner if you’re patient. After that, the Wednesday and Thursday mornings of September 17th and 18th offer some small, clean, longer-period (12-13 sec) pulses from the ESE, but at only 0.7 ft, it's barely a ripple.
Honestly, this is a tough run for Linkys. The consistent lack of quality swell and frequent onshore wind means the wave energy is mostly weak, and the setup just doesn’t look interesting for a proper paddle session. At those points with significant swell and poor quality, a kite surfer might get more out of it than a surfer on a longboard.
That’s the story. Not much to get excited about, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
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.
