Linkys is a raw and rewarding beach break tucked along New Hampshire's compact but spirited coastline, picking up northeast swells that funnel into the area with surprising power during fall and winter storm systems. The spot faces WNW into a sheltered orientation that rewards surfers when the right combination of east to northeast groundswell and offshore winds align, producing punchy, hollow peaks that can surprise even seasoned surfers. New Hampshire's surf scene is tight-knit and dedicated, and Linkys reflects that spirit — a local gem that rewards those willing to brave cold North Atlantic water temperatures.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Linkys is 1-2ft with a 4.5s swell period. Wind is ESE at 4mph. Conditions are rated Poor - Fair. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Linkys is 1-2ft, produced by a 2.2ft SE wind swell swell at 5s, a 1.4ft ESE secondary swell at 9s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.
Based on the current 5-day forecast, the best window to surf Linkys is Monday from 9 AM to 12 PM with 3ft waves, a 9.7s swell period, and conditions rated Fair - Good. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
Linkys works best with a ENE swell and WNW winds. Offshore winds groom the face of the wave, while onshore winds turn it sloppy. Cross-offshore conditions usually produce the cleanest shape.
Tide plays a big role at Linkys. Mid tide works for most beach breaks, while reef and point breaks often prefer higher or lower stages. Use the tide chart above to line up your session with the swell peak.

Common hazards at Linkys include cold water, strong currents, rocky shoreline, localism, rip currents, shore break. Always check conditions before paddling out, respect local etiquette, and never surf alone if you're unfamiliar with the break.
Our Linkys forecast uses NOAA GFS and other weather models combined with spot-specific bathymetry to calculate breaking wave heights. Short-range (1-3 day) forecasts are most reliable; extended forecasts show general trends. We also verify our offshore swell predictions against NOAA buoy measurements daily — see our accuracy page for those swell-verification metrics (buoys measure open-water swell, not breaking surf size).
