The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Linkys over the next 16 days is a tough one. There’s not a single decent wave on the cards. The whole stretch is a write-off.
We kick off Monday the 3rd of August with a weak 3ft SSE swell, but it's got a short, punchless 5-second period and the combined energy is a measly 61. The wind is cross-off, but it's raining and there's a risk of thunderstorms, so it’s a hard pass. That sets the tone.
From Tuesday the 4th all the way through to Tuesday the 18th of August, it’s a brutal run of flatness or near-flatness. Swell heights barely crack 2ft, and most days we’re looking at 0.3ft to 1ft junk. The combined energy figures are pathetic – we’re talking single digits and low double digits for the most part. The swell direction is a mess of SE and ESE, but none of it has any power.
Even the glassy days, like Saturday the 8th and Wednesday the 12th, are useless because there’s simply no swell to ride. The wind might be clean, but you can’t surf puddles.
For an exposed reef and point break like Linkys, which is already inconsistent, this is a normal dead zone. The setup is just not working. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you’ll be floating. This stretch looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard.
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.
