The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the imperial version. Let’s be honest – it’s been a grim run and it’s gonna stay that way for a while. The whole 16-day window is a no-go for any decent waves. The only tiny glimmer of hope doesn’t pop up until the end of the month, and even that has issues.
We’re talking about Linkys, a reef and point break that’s exposed but inconsistent. Water temp is about 64°, which is normal for this time of year.
Right from the start, Friday the 11th and through the weekend, the swell is pathetic – about 1ft, coming from the SE with weak 10-second periods. Wind is messy, switching from cross-off to cross-on. Combined swell energy is a joke, sitting at 15 to 17. Not even worth looking at.
Monday the 14th all the way through to Wednesday the 25th is a long, boring stretch of tiny, gutless swell and rough conditions. Swell bounces between 0.6ft and 3ft, mostly from the ESE or SSE, with periods as low as 5 seconds, and energy readings mostly under 100. The wind is all over the place – onshore, cross-onshore, choppy – nothing clean.
There’s a slight uptick on Thursday the 24th. The morning shows 3ft from the ESE with a 9-second period and a light offshore wind. Combined energy hits 193 – moderate – and it’s surfable but ordinary. Not a standout, just a small break in the gloom.
Here’s the only real standout of the whole outlook: Thursday the 24th afternoon. Swell jumps to 8ft from the ENE with an 8-second period – short period, so it’ll be a bit lumpy – but combined energy hits 580 (strong) and the wind goes cross-off from the WNW. The wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions.” That 8ft is solid, so it’s for experienced surfers only. The direction (ENE) is a decent match for the optimum NE swell direction for Linkys.
But don’t get your hopes up. By Friday the 25th, heavy rain and howling onshore winds at 18 mph ruin it. The swell is still big – 7ft in the morning, 6ft in the afternoon – but the wind is straight onshore, making it a complete mess. Combined energy is 687 and 440 – very strong – but unrideable. This setup looks way more exciting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, the last few days (Saturday the 26th) drop back to tiny 3ft junk with cross-shore wind and weak energy. Nothing else.
So, bottom line: one brief window on Thursday the 24th afternoon offers the best waves, but it’s for experts only and it doesn’t last. The rest is a total loss. A long, frustrating wait.
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.
