The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Linkys. Let’s be real—this 16-day stretch is a tough one. Most of the time, you’re not going to find anything worth paddling for.
The first week is almost a total loss. Sunday the 19th kicks off with a tiny 0.3ft SE swell, 13-second period, but a cross-off NW wind at 15 mph, and the combined energy is just 10—basically nothing. Monday the 20th, Tuesday the 21st, and Wednesday the 22nd are all the same story: ankle-biters, weak energy, and poor conditions. Don’t bother.
Your only real chance comes on Thursday the 23rd, morning session. We’ve got a 4ft SE swell with a 9-second period, and the wind is offshore from the W at 12 mph. The combined energy hits 266 (moderate), and conditions are clean. This is the standout. The swell is solid enough for fun waves, but the 9-second period means it’s not a heavy groundswell. Linkys is a reef and point break, so it’ll handle the SE direction okay. This is the best we get.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. Friday the 24th through the rest of July and into early August sees tiny 2-3ft swell, cross-shore winds, and combined energy that barely breaks 100. The morning of Saturday the 25th has a glassy moment with 2ft SE swell, but the energy is only 54—weak. The second week is flat, with energy dropping to single digits between the 29th and 31st.
Water temperature on the 19th was 63°, which is about 2° cooler than average for this time of year. A bit chilly, so grab a thicker suit.
One day to watch: Thursday morning the 23rd. That’s your window. Clean, offshore, 4ft swell. Linkys can get crowded, so expect company. The rest of the 16 days? Flat and forgettable.
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.
