The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over at Golfcourse for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a slow start. We’re lookin’ at a long, quiet stretch before anything really gets goin’.
We’re kickin’ off right now, and for the first week and a bit, it’s mostly small, weak stuff. The water temp is hangin’ around average for the time of year, nothin’ unusual there. From Thursday the 23rd right through to the end of July, the swell is tiny – between 0.7 ft and 2 ft – with combined wave energy readings mostly under 100 (like 90, 92, 82), so it’s pretty weak. The periods are around 8 to 11 seconds, so nothin’ special. Mornings are glassy which is nice, but with such tiny waves you’re really just bobbin’ around. It’s surfable but very ordinary. Afternoons get chopped up by the seabreeze, makin’ it a write-off.
That quiet spell runs until the morning of Saturday, August 2nd. Now *that* morning is where it finally starts to get interestin’. The combined energy jumps to 223 (moderate), with a 2 ft swell from the E at a very long 16 seconds. It’s glassy as can be. That’s a classic long-period groundswell, so the shape will be good, but it might wall up a bit at a beach break setup. Still, it’s the first real glimmer of hope.
But the real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, comes on Tuesday, August 4th. The morning session is the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a solid 8 ft swell from the E with a period of 18 seconds – that’s a serious, powerful groundswell. Combined energy is a massive 3376, so there’s plenty of grunt. The wind is glassy, dead calm. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – it’s gonna be too big and powerful for beginners at over 8 ft, but for the crew that knows what they’re doin’, it’s gonna be a hell of a session. The afternoon gets the onshore treatment and chops it up a bit.
The Wednesday morning after (August 5th) still has plenty of leftovers at 6 ft with clean, calm conditions, so that’s a solid backup.
So to sum it up: you’ve got a big dry spell until August 2nd. The morning of the 4th is the absolute standout, with the 5th morning as a strong second option. Keep your eyes peeled for any forecast shifts on that long-range standout, but as it stands right now, that Tuesday morning is the one.
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.
