The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the table for Linkys over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you—it’s not looking like a classic run for this spot. The water temp is pretty much where you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild going on there.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start. For the first few days, it’s all small, onshore, and poor. Wednesday and Thursday mornings are the first real chance to get wet, with a little bump in size. Thursday morning the 3rd shows a 5ft swell from the SSE, but it’s a short-period windswell at 6 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore from the SSW, so it’ll be clean. The combined wave energy is only moderate (160). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. Friday morning the 4th is also clean with a light NW cross-off, but the swell drops to 3ft from the ESE with a 7-second period and weak energy (73).
The best of what’s on offer looks to be Sunday afternoon the 6th. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the ENE, period bumping up to 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (221). Wind is light from the east, but it’s a cross-onshore, so expect a few ripples on the surface. It’s a marginal call.
Looking further out, there’s a small window on Tuesday the 8th morning with clean 2ft swell from the east, 9-second period, and a WSW offshore wind. Combined energy is weak (64). Not big, but it’ll be clean.
After that, it goes very quiet. From the 9th through the 15th, we’re looking at tiny surf, mostly under 2ft with poor conditions. There’s a tiny glimmer on the 14th morning with glassy conditions, but the swell is only 1ft – barely a ripple.
Then, right at the tail end of the 16-day window, on the 16th and 17th of September, we might see a little pulse. Wednesday the 16th morning looks clean with a 3ft swell from the NE, 5-second period, and a WSW offshore wind. Energy is weak (49). The morning of the 17th is similar, with 3ft from the east at 7 seconds, a light NW cross-off, and moderate energy (151). The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s the best we’ve got in the second week, but it’s still pretty ordinary.
Honestly, for this stretch, there are no real standouts. The swell is small, the periods are short, and it’s inconsistent. It’s the kind of forecast where you don't need to stress about missing a session. Keep an eye on the wind forecasts, but don't hold your breath.
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.
