The Lowdown
Alright, let's switch gears to feet and Fahrenheit. This is Rusty, and I'm looking at the same stretch of time at Golfcourse. It’s a beginner-friendly spot that breaks pretty consistently, but the next couple of weeks are a bit of a slow burn.
The water temp is about 81°, which is a touch under a degree cooler than normal for this time of year. Nothing wild.
The outlook kicks off on Tuesday, July 14th, but it's a dud. A tiny 2ft south swell with a light onshore breeze. Not worth suiting up.
We get a run of clean conditions starting Wednesday, July 15th, with offshore wind. But the swell is tiny, only 1ft to 2ft. The energy is low, and the period is short. It's rideable, but it's a grind. This weak but clean pattern sticks around through the following weekend. Friday the 17th morning and Sunday the 19th morning will be glassy, which is a huge positive for the surface, but the swell just isn't there to make it fun.
There's a stretch of a few days where the recommendations fall off completely. The winds get messy, and the quality drops.
Then, on Wednesday, July 29th, we get our one true highlight. That morning, the forecast is for a 3ft swell from the ESE with a long 13-second period (real groundswell). The combined energy hits 290 (moderate). The wind will be light and cross-offshore from the south, cleaning up the face perfectly. The report says "expect good surf conditions," and I'm with it. That long period will bring proper waves to Golfcourse (exposed to the south-east). At this size, it's perfect for the beginner-friendly setup. The afternoon looks to get cross-chop, so hit it early.
That's the only real standout in the whole 16-day window. The rest is small potatoes or blown out. Keep your eyes on that last Wednesday morning, it's the one to make a plan for.
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.
