The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple weeks at Linkys are mostly a waiting game, a real slow burn. This reef and point setup needs the right direction, and for the next week or so, we’re just not getting it. There’s a long stretch of almost nothing worth paddling out for, but towards the end of this forecast window, there’s suddenly a flash of potential that might just be worth marking on the calendar.

First up, from Tuesday the 25th right through the end of August, it’s pretty flat and frustrating. The swell stays tiny, mostly around 1 foot to 2 feet, coming out of the SE. The energy in the water is weak, the combined swell energy reading sits below 100 most days (55-105). Sure, we get a few clean windows with light winds, like Wednesday morning the 26th when it’s glassy (ESE 3 mph) and the ocean looks like a mirror for that 2-foot SE swell, but honestly, there’s barely enough push to get you down the line. It’s surfable but very ordinary. Late in the day the wind swings onshore and the quality drops.

The gap of real junk continues through the 27th to the 31st. Thursday afternoon the 27th gets a 5-foot SSE swell, but it’s short period at 5 seconds and the wind is up around 16 mph from the SSW. That’s a mess. From there, we roll into the weekend and early next week with nothing but weak 1-foot to 2-foot swells and poor to marginal conditions. The period when the wind is offshore on Monday morning the 31st (WSW 16 mph) is clean but the swell is only 1 foot – you’d be floating.

Then we hit a real void. Tuesday the 1st of September still isn’t offering anything decent. The energy is low, the swell is short period or mixed up.

Now here’s where it gets interesting, and this is the standout. Wednesday morning the 2nd of September, something changes. The swell from the ESE builds, the period stretches out to a very long 12 seconds, and the combined energy reading jumps to 207 – that’s solid, moderate energy. The wind? Glassy, with a west breeze at just 3 mph. For a reef and point like Linkys, that long period groundswell will wrap in nicely and the face should have some proper shape. If you can sit out there for the set gaps, it could be really good. This is the one to circle.

Thursday morning the 3rd of September is a big one too, but with a warning. The swell jumps to 6 feet from the ESE, and the energy reading is a powerful 503 – that’s strong energy for this spot. The wind is again glassy (ENE 3 mph). That is a serious, powerful wave. But at 6 feet, that’s getting into expert territory, especially on a reef and point. If you’re a solid surfer, this could be the best session of the month – heavy, clean, and powerful. Beginners should stay well away. By the afternoon, the cross-shore wind kicks up and chops it out.

After that peak, the rest of the run up to the 9th is a slow fade. The swell drops back down, the winds get messy, and by the 9th of September, we’re back to 1-foot junk.

Overall, there’s a real standout window from the morning of the 2nd of September through to the morning of the 3rd. If you can get out there for that glassy, long-period groundswell, it’s your best bet by far. The water temp is about average for this time of year, no big anomalies to mention. Just keep an eye on those morning windows.

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.
