The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Golfcourse over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a tough outlook. We've got a massive run of poor conditions, so don't expect much to happen here for a long while. The first real glimmer of something decent is a long way off. From now, we're looking at a solid gap of over a week with nothing worthwhile on the cards. There are a couple of moments where the swell gets huge, but the wind is just all wrong, and it's way too big for a beginner spot like this.
The first standout, and honestly, the only real highlight, is the Tuesday morning on the 15th of September. It's not huge, but it's clean. We've got a 5ft swell from the ESE, and the wind is glassy out of the north at 3 mph. That's a magic combination. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit should do the trick. The combined wave energy is a solid moderate (401), and with that 10-second period, you'll get some nice, pushy lines rolling in. This is your window. It's a beginner-friendly break, so it's perfect for getting some clean, easy rides. Be aware that Golfcourse can get crowded, so get in early.
After that morning, it goes downhill fast. Tuesday afternoon sees the wind swing onshore and the quality drops. From Wednesday the 16th right through to the end of the month, it's a write-off. The wind is either cross-on or just messy, and the swell either isn't there or it's way too big and lumpy. For example, by the 19th of September, we're looking at a 12ft swell with a very long 16-second period, but the wind is all over it, so it'll be a mess. A spot like this, a beach setup, just can't handle that kind of size with a cross-onshore wind. Honestly, for most of that second week, with the strong winds and big, messy swell, this setup would be far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There are a few days later on, like the 23rd of September, where the wind goes offshore, but the swell is tiny and weak. It's just not happening.
So, to sum it up: your one and only shot at Golfcourse is that Tuesday morning, the 15th of September. Make the most of it, because it's going to be a long, quiet spell afterwards.
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.
