The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get real about what’s coming.
Straight up, we’re looking at a rough run here at Golfcourse. It’s an exposed beginner-friendly break, and we’re locked into an ESE swell direction, which isn’t what it really wants—it’s looking for a clean SE. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, no surprises there.
The first few days are a write-off. Sunday the 9th, we’ve got 7ft of short-period, onshore chop with thunderstorms and a moderate breeze. The combined energy is high (928), but it’s junk—poor surf conditions. Monday the 10th isn’t much better, with 5ft swell and a bit less wind, but still onshore and messy. The energy stays up (1012), but the quality is just not there.
Now, Tuesday the 11th is the only real glimmer in this whole outlook. Morning brings a glassy, calm session with 4ft of long-period groundswell (13 seconds) from the east. The energy is still moderate (577), and the comment says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the standout. It’s a small window, but if you can get out early, it’ll be clean and fun for a beginner board. The afternoon goes cross-on and drops off quick.
After that, it’s a long, sad stretch. From Wednesday the 12th all the way through the end of the forecast on August 24th, it’s a mix of poor to marginal conditions. The swell drops below 3ft for a few days, the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the energy dips into the low hundreds. There are a couple of glassy moments on the 19th and 20th, but the swell is tiny—2ft to 3ft—and the energy is weak. Surfable, but barely worth the paddle.
Bottom line: if you’re a beginner looking to get wet, Tuesday morning the 11th is your shot. After that, it’s a lot of waiting. For experienced surfers, there’s nothing here that’s going to get the heart pumping. With that consistent onshore flow and poor quality, this setup honestly looks more interesting for a kite session than a proper paddle surf. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this flat and messy 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.
