The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's get into it for Linkys. Alright, I won't sugarcoat it – the next week and a half is a write-off. We've got a huge gap of nothing but flat, junk conditions from the start of the forecast right through until the weekend of the 20th of September. There's just no swell to speak of and the wind is all over the shop. It's a tough stretch, but it's one of those periods where you just don't bother looking at the water. You'll be waiting a while.
Things finally start to turn around Sunday the 20th of September. The morning session is the standout for the whole 16-day window. Linkys (reef and point) wakes up with a clean 6 ft swell from the ENE, and the combined wave energy is a solid 251. The wind is a light offshore from the SSW, so it's going to be glassy. The water temp is about 65°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The crowd factor is "often" here, so expect some company. The swell period is around 7 seconds, which is a bit short, but it's the best we've got.
Monday the 21st of September keeps the run going, with another 6 ft from the ENE in the morning. The combined energy is even stronger at 266. The wind is a clean offshore from the WSW, so it'll be another good, clean session. The afternoon drops a little to 5 ft with a cross-offshore breeze, still very surfable. After that, it drops off again to smaller, weaker stuff for the rest of the forecast. So, if you're waiting for a wave, circle the 20th and 21st of September – that's your window.
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.
