The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Linkys are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We've got a lot of flat spells and choppy junk to wade through, so patience is the name of the game.
Let’s start with the overall picture. For the next ten days or so, we're stuck with tiny, weak swell and mostly average wind. The combined wave energy is often pitiful, dipping into single or low double digits. There's no real stand-out session in the near-term. Water temp is around 65°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Saturday the 5th is a write-off – onshore ENE breeze with a weak 2ft ESE swell (energy 64). Not worth a look. Sunday the 6th is a little bigger, 3ft from the ENE, but the wind is all over the shop, bouncing from a cross-shore to a cross-onshore, making it choppy and ugly.
We see a slight tease on the afternoon of Monday the 7th. The wind goes cross-offshore from the NW, and we get a cleaner surface with a 2ft E swell. The period is a bit longer at 10 seconds, giving it a little more push, but the energy is still weak at 54. The conditions are 'surfable but very ordinary' – it’s a one-out-of-ten kind of day. You could get a couple of grovelly ones, but honestly, don't get your hopes up.
From the 8th right through to the 17th, we are in a dry spell. The swell is mostly below 2ft. There are brief moments with light offshore or even glassy conditions, like on the morning of the 16th and 17th, but the swell period is a shocking 4 to 5 seconds and the height is only 3ft. That’s just windslop. The combined energy on these days is still low, between 55 and 79. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
Finally, on the 17th of September in the afternoon, things start to rumble back to life. The swell lifts to 4ft from the east (energy 194 – moderate) with an 8-second period. The wind is a light cross-onshore, which isn't perfect, but the energy is there. It’s still not great surf, but it's better than nothing.
The best bet in the entire 16-day window, if you can wait, is the morning of Friday the 18th of September. Linkys sees a 4ft east swell pushing in with an 8-second period, and the combined energy hits moderate levels at 205. That’s the most juice we’ll see all forecast. The catch? The wind is onshore from the NE at 9 mph and it looks cloudy. It will be lumpy and bumpy, not the clean, glassy Linkys we dream of, but for a wave-starved surfer, it'll be the most you can get.
Forget the long-range stuff after that; it drops off again quickly. If you’re aching for a paddle, the 18th is your day, but keep the expectations low. The rest of the time, it’s a waiting game.
Stay patient, 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.
