The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's suss out what Linkys has in store for the next couple of weeks.
First thing, the water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing wild. But the truth is, it’s a flat spell. The first few days, Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th, are a total bust—tiny, poor waves with onshore or cross breezes. Nothing to paddle for.
Sunday the 13th afternoon shows a pulse: 1.0m from the SSE, but it’s a short period of 5 seconds, weak energy (63). Light cross-off wind keeps it clean, but it’s still "surfable but very ordinary". Barely a ripple.
Monday the 14th afternoon is similar: 1.1m from the NE, period of 4 seconds (63 energy), light SSW cross-off, clean. Again, you could get wet, but it’s not quality.
Tuesday the 15th morning brings the biggest energy reading—210—with a 1.6m easterly swell at 6 seconds. But the wind is onshore from the east, making a mess. At that size, it’s pushing out of beginner territory, but the onshore wind kills the shape. Honestly, this is looking more like a kiteboarding day than a surf day.
After that, it’s a long, quiet stretch. From Wednesday the 16th all the way to Wednesday the 23rd, the waves stay tiny—under 0.5m mostly. The energy readings are weak, rarely over 40. You get clean offshore wind some mornings, like Friday the 18th with a 0.2m, 12-second groundswell from the ESE, but the size is laughable. Even that long period can’t make something from nothing.
The only slight glimmer is Monday the 21st afternoon: glassy flat with a light SE breeze, 0.4m from the SE at 8 seconds. Clean as a whistle, but tiny. Great for a float, not for a wave.
This is a proper dry run for Linkys. Forecasts can change, but as it sits right now, leave the board at home.
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.
