The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming up for Golfcourse.
The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a long period of small, pretty ordinary conditions to get through before things fire up towards the end of the run. Patience is going to be the key.
Right now, and for the next several days, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves. Most mornings will be clean enough with light offshores, but the swell is barely there at 1ft from the ESE, energy is weak (44) and the period is short. It’s a tough paddle for not a lot of reward. This pattern of poor conditions hangs around until the end of the first week of August, with nothing really worth getting wet for.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday, August 2nd is the first real standout. We wake up to a glassy calm, no wind, and a nice little jump in the swell. The morning session will offer clean 2ft sets from the ESE with a very long 16 second period. The combined energy jumps to 258, showing there’s some proper groundswell pushing in. For a spot like Golfcourse, that long period swell might make things a bit straight at the peak, but the lack of wind makes it worth a look for the patient surfer.
Things get a whole lot more serious from Monday, August 3rd, but it’s turning into a beast. The swell builds rapidly, hitting 6ft by morning and peaking at a huge 10ft by Tuesday afternoon from the ESE with an 18 second period (energy hitting 4728). This is expert-only territory, and the onshore wind will be making it a lumpy mess. For the average surfer, this is less about surfing and more about watching from the beach.
The real highlight, and the best bet of the whole outlook period, is Friday morning, August 14th. After all that chaos, the ocean takes a deep breath. We’ll have another glassy, windless morning with a solid 5ft groundswell from the ESE, with a 11 second period and 666 combined energy. This is going to be clean, lined up and super fun on the right board. Given the crowds get "often" out there, be prepared to share the peak, but for quality clean waves, this is the session to circle on the calendar. Water temperature is sitting at about 85°F, which is normal for this time of year.
So, to sum it up: don't bother this week. Keep an eye on August 2nd for a fun, glassy morning, but save your energy for Friday, August 14th. That morning is the one that’ll have the stoke levels high.
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.
