The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's on the table for Linkys.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty flat. There's nothing worth paddling out for right now, and you're looking at a massive gap of over a week with basically no surf to speak of. The best we get is some tiny, weak energy, and most of the time the conditions are just junk. It's one of those stretches where you're better off checking the forecast again in a few days, because this is a long dry spell.
The only time things even start to look like they might produce a wave is right at the end of the month, and into early August. Let's run through it.
On Wednesday the 22nd of July, the afternoon brings a bit of a spike. We've got a 4ft swell from the SE, and the wind is offshore from the west at 16 mph, which is a big positive. The combined energy is moderate (210). It’s a reef and point break here (Linkys), and the period is short at 8 seconds, so it's not a groundswell, just a little windswell bump. It scores a 2 out of 10, but honestly, in this flat spell, that's as good as it gets. It's an inconsistent spot, so don't expect much.
Then we skip forward to the 2nd of August. Sunday morning has a glassy, calm wind, with a 2ft swell from the east, period of 10 seconds, and the energy is moderate (109). The wind is dead calm, which is rare and perfect for clean conditions. Again, it's tiny, but if you're desperate, that's the cleanest little dribble you'll find.
Honestly, the standout in this whole 16-day window is that Wednesday the 22nd of July afternoon, purely because it has the most size and a clean offshore wind. Beyond that, there’s nothing exciting. Keep your board in the car for a better day.
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.
