The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming down the line at our spot.
The next 16 days start off pretty flat and frustrating. Honestly, for the first week and a bit, there's barely a whisper of surf that's worth paddling out for. A couple of days in the middle of the month might show a small bump, but the wind and conditions are just wrong. We're looking at a real dry spell until we get past the 20th.
The first real glimmer of action doesn't show up until Monday the 21st, but it's a bit of a monster. Swell is pumping with an incredible combined energy (31,669) from a very long 15-second period out of the SE. The problem is, for Golfcourse, it's just too much. We're talking 27.9ft faces. That's a paddling out hazard for anyone but the most hardcore big-wave chargers. It's a "look, don't touch" day.
The standouts in this whole outlook are actually on Friday the 25th. The morning session is the best on offer. We've got a solid 5.9ft groundswell from the ESE, with a very long 16-second period that will wrap in nicely. The key is the wind is absolutely glassy. That, right there, is the magic ticket. It'll be clean as a whistle. The water temp is sitting at 82.4°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit. Just be aware that this spot can get busy, so expect to share the waves. Later that afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it gets a bit messy.
Friday the 25th morning. That's your window. Get on it.

Information about the Golfcourse Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Golfcourse provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Golfcourse can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Golfcourse 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 (Golfcourse) 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 Golfcourse 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.
Golfcourse is 6 km (4 miles) from Miyazaki-shi. If you plan a holiday in Kyu Shu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Miyazaki-shi. Miyazaki-shi has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
