The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s coming for Golfcourse.
The start is a bust. There’s swell in the water, but the wind is all wrong, and you’re looking at a pretty big gap until around Saturday the 29th before anything feels worth the drive. Water temp is about 84°F, which is right where it should be for this time of year.
The one day that’s got my heart pumping is Saturday morning, the 29th of August. The wind goes glassy from the ENE, just a faint air. Swell is 6ft from the SSE, with a 9-second period. That’s a nice little groundswell with moderate energy (557). It’s an exposed beach, so that glassy surface will give you some clean, fun walls. This spot is fairly consistent, but crowds are often a problem, so be ready to share it.
Sunday morning the 30th is also worth a look. Another glassy morning, ENE light air, with a smaller 3ft swell from the SE, but the period is short at 7 seconds, and the energy is weak (215). Still, with that glass, it’ll be clean and fun for a beginner-friendly session.
The rest of the first week is a write-off. Tuesday the 25th sees 13ft of swell with a 16-second period, but with 12-16 mph cross-onshore winds, it’s a choppy, blown-out mess. That’s a massive amount of energy (7988), but it’s not for paddle surfing – more like a kite day. The rest of the week is marginal at best.
Into the second week, it’s mostly a slog. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September have some 5ft to 7ft swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. By Wednesday the 2nd, the wind is howling at 16 mph and it’s all blown out.
The only other glimmer is way out on Sunday morning, the 6th of September. A light WSW breeze makes it clean, with a 4ft swell from the E, period 8 seconds. Energy is low at 263. It’s a clean, small option, but it’s a long way off and nothing special.
So, if you’re looking for the best, it’s Saturday morning, the 29th of August. That’s your window. After that, it’s slim pickings.
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.
