The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for our little corner of the world.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run of things ahead. We’re staring down a long, quiet stretch, and the surf just isn’t cooperating. The first real sign of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Thursday, July 30th, and even then, it’s a rough one. That’s a solid 5-day gap with nothing but tiny, weak, and choppy waves.
The standout of the whole 16-day window is a tricky one. It lands on Thursday, July 30th, in the afternoon. Linkys is looking at a 8ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds, but the combined energy is pumping hard at 572 (moderate wave energy). That’s a lot of water moving around. The problem is, it’s coming with a moderate cross-shore wind and a cross-chop, which means it’s going to be messy. The wind is from the NW at 12 mph, so it’s cross-offshore, which cleans it up a little, but the swell is over 8ft, so this is strictly for experts only. It’s a big, powerful, ugly wave for the brave. The morning of that same day is even bigger (8ft) but with a cross-onshore wind, making it a total chop-fest.
Before that, it’s a wasteland. Saturday, July 25th, through Wednesday, July 29th, is all tiny surf under 3ft, with short period energy (7-8 seconds) and weak combined energy (mostly under 100). The wind is constantly ruining it, with cross-onshore or onshore breezes. It’s just poor.
After that Thursday spike, the wave energy drops right off again. Friday, July 31st, has a cleaner, smaller 4ft swell from the ENE in the morning, with a gentle cross-offshore wind, so it’s clean. But the combined energy is only 188, and it’s still a short period swell. It’s a small, ordinary wave.
Then it’s back to nothing. From Saturday, August 1st, all the way through to Sunday, August 9th, the swell barely reaches 2ft, the combined energy drops into the single digits, and the wind is either onshore, cross, or glassy but with no swell to work with. There are a few moments of clean, glassy conditions (like Tuesday, August 4th morning, and Friday, August 7th morning), but with only 2ft and 2ft of weak, short-period swell, it’s practically flat. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
So, the only real shot for a wave is that Thursday, July 30th afternoon session, but it’s a big, grumpy beast for experts only. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for something that isn’t coming.

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.
