The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I gotta be straight with you – the next two weeks at Golfcourse are a mixed bag, and you’ll be working hard for any decent waves. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year at 83°, so no surprises there.
The first week is a real struggle. We’ve got tiny, weak swell with wave energy barely cracking 100 (89), and it's mostly coming from the east. The wind is a real problem; it’s almost always cross-onshore or onshore, making a mess of things. You’ll see a few glassy mornings on the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, and 25th of July, but with waves only 1ft to 2ft, it’s more of a float than a surf. Don’t bother with the afternoons.
Things start to look a bit more promising towards the end of the first week and into the second. On Sunday the 26th of July, the morning goes glassy with a 2ft SSE swell, and the energy starts to climb to 127 – still small, but it’s a direction change that sets things up. The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is the morning of Wednesday the 30th of July. We’ve got a clean 6ft SSE swell pushing in with a period of 10 seconds, and glassy conditions from a light NE wind. The combined energy is a solid 645, meaning there’s some proper push behind it. This is where the wind and swell finally line up, and the surf will be very good. The crowd factor here is "often", so there will be others out, but it’s worth it for the best waves of the forecast. Beginners should be careful as 6ft is getting up there.
After that, the 31st of July sees a drop back to 3ft with cross-onshore wind, and the first few days of August are a write-off with tiny, weak swell and poor winds. The morning of the 4th of August has a 1ft swell on an offshore breeze, but the period is short and the energy is low, so it’s not a goer.
So, if you’re keen, pencil in the morning of the 30th of July. That’s your best chance for a proper session. The rest of the time, you’re mostly chasing scraps.
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.
