The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for Golfcourse.
Well, this one starts off slow. The first few days offer a bit of surf, but nothing that really gets the blood pumping. Saturday morning the 29th has some chest-high stuff at 4ft from the SSE, but a short period of 7 seconds means it'll be a bit weak and bumpy with that cross-off wind. The wave energy is still moderate at (237). It cleans up nicely for Sunday and Monday mornings, with some glassy conditions and a shred of energy at (152) and (131), but the swell is small and pretty weak. Those mornings are surfable for a beginner. From Tuesday the 1st of September onward things get messy with strong onshore winds and building swell that just turns into a washing machine. Poor conditions are the story.
Then, from Thursday the 3rd of September, we get something different. The swell lights up big time, with combined energy values shooting into the thousands (2985) and even (6143). The swell is huge—12ft to 15ft—and coming mainly from the SE and E. But the problem is, this spot is a beginner-friendly beach break, and with that much power it's going to be well out of its depth. It’s really only going to work for absolute experts, and even then the wind and chop are going to make it a mission. For the average punter, it’s a no-go. This setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you've got the skills.
The swell drops back after the 8th of September into the 7ft to 6ft range, but the winds are still messy with rain and onshore flow. It continues to be marginal at best, with a few spots of longer period energy (13 seconds) but the cross-on and onshore winds ruin the shape. It's not really worth paddling out for the rest of the forecast window.
So, the honest truth for this spot: if you’re a beginner or looking for a clean, fun wave, the best bet is the small glassy mornings on Sunday the 30th of August and Monday the 31st of August. They won’t be pumping, but they’ll be clean and user-friendly. Everything else is either too big, too windy, or too messy, and it’s a long wait for the next chance.
Stay safe out there.
Rusty.

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.
