The Lowdown
Alright, let's get down to it.
The only wave in town for the next couple of weeks is at Golfcourse, and to be honest, it's looking a little rough. The water's been sitting at 85°F, which is a bit warmer than usual for this time of year, so it's gonna be a warm one.
The action starts on Sunday, August 2nd. Early morning is the pick. We've got a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE with a long 16-second period. It's dead glassy and clean. The energy is weak, but you can catch a few. As the morning rolls into the afternoon, the wind turns cross-on and it gets a little lumpy.
Monday, August 3rd, the swell bumps up to 5ft, but the cross-on wind makes it a bit of a mess. The energy is picking up, but it's not worth paddling out for in the afternoon when it gets choppy.
From Tuesday, August 4th, things go off the rails. The swell jumps to 8ft plus with a 17-second period, and it's cross-on and stormy. By Wednesday and Thursday, we're talking 15ft to 26ft of swell with strong cross-onshore winds. This is not for the faint of heart. This is deep-water, expert-only territory, and the wind is just ruining any chance of it being clean. The energy readings are off the charts, but this is a kite surfing day if anything, not a paddle surfing one.
The swell stays big and messy through the weekend with strong onshore winds making everything a washout. It starts to drop a bit in the second week, but the onshore winds stick around, keeping conditions poor until about Wednesday, August 12th, when the swell finally drops to a manageable 6ft. The wind lightens, but it's still cross-on, making it marginal.
Then, finally, on Saturday, August 15th, we get another small window. The morning is glassy again, with the swell down to 3ft from the E. It's clean and small, with weak energy. Good for a longboard, but nothing to get excited about. The afternoon gets choppy again.
After that, it's pretty much done. The swell remains small and the wind is onshore for the rest of the run.
In the end, there’s no big standout here. The best bets are those two glassy mornings on the 2nd and the 15th. The big swell all gets blown out and is way too large for anyone but the most extreme. So, keep your expectations low and your eyes on the forecast.
Catch you later.

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.
