The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. The first week or so, from Friday the 24th of July through to Monday the 3rd of August, is a pretty flat spell. The swell is tiny, a foot or two at best, with weak energy (92 to 137). The mornings are glassy, which is nice, but the afternoon winds mess it up. There's just no power in the water.
The best action is going to be at Golfcourse. The only real chance for a wave is early in the day. For example, Tuesday the 28th, the morning is glassy with a 2ft ESE swell, but the energy is a weak 105. It's a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but you'll be scratching for anything decent.
The second week is where it gets good. Tuesday the 4th of August morning shows a 3ft ESE swell, but the period hits 15 seconds – that's a real groundswell with some proper energy (426). The wind is glassy. It's still small, but the quality will be there for a good surfer.
Then it really fires up. Wednesday the 5th of August morning is the standout. The swell is 6ft from the ESE with a 16-second period (energy 1456). The wind is offshore from the ENE, which is ideal for clean, lined-up waves. Golfcourse is the only spot, and while it's a beginner break, that swell with offshore wind will be a fun, punchy wave for intermediates.
It gets huge after that. Thursday the 6th of August afternoon shows 12ft swell with massive energy (6639). That's way too big for this break – over 8ft, it's for experts only. Friday the 7th of August is 13ft (energy 9854). That's a serious, powerful ocean. The cross-on wind makes it less appealing, but it's a show.
So, the absolute best window is Wednesday the 5th of August morning at Golfcourse. Clean 6ft groundswell, offshore wind, and solid energy. The days after are for the very brave. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

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.
