The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the next sixteen days for Golfcourse.
To be honest, it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a lot of messy, wind-chopped days, and the swell energy is all over the place. The water is sitting at about 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The best of a rough bunch is shaping up for Wednesday, September 9th. The morning session is the one to circle. We've got a glassy, clean surface with the wind dropping out completely, and a little 4ft swell from the ESE. The combined energy is a moderate 220, so it's not a big day, but that clean surface will make it feel way better than the size suggests. It's a beginner-friendly break, so this is the perfect window for a learner to get some nice, clean little waves.
The rest of the first week is pretty ordinary. Monday afternoon and Tuesday are all cross-onshore chop with no real quality. Thursday and Friday are a write-off too, with poor conditions and tiny, weak swell.
Then we get a bit of a drought. From Saturday the 12th through to the start of the third week, it's a long run of poor surf. The combined energy numbers are all over the place, but the wind is never on our side.
There's a flicker of hope on Wednesday, September 16th. Another morning of glassy conditions with a 4ft swell from the ESE, and a moderate energy reading of 269. The afternoon even looks clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. It's a good window, but it's still just a small, weak groundswell (9-second period), so it won't be a proper grinder. Still, it's the best on offer in the second week.
The promising Sunday morning on the 19th of September looks glassy with a 3ft swell from the south, but it's a short period swell (8 seconds) and the energy is weak (209). It's surfable, but nothing to write home about. The rest of that week fades back into marginal, iffy conditions.
So, the bottom line: if you're keen, make the call for Wednesday morning, the 9th. That's the standout. Wednesday the 16th is your other chance for a clean session. Everything else is a gamble on messy, lumpy, or tiny surf. For a spot that's fairly consistent, this is a poor run, but it won't last forever.
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.
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.
