Table - best surf conditions forecast for Golfcourse over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Golfcourse. This is a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, exposed to the swell. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is pretty much average for this time of year – nothing unusual. The first few days, honestly, it’s not looking great. You’ve got tiny waves, mostly around 2ft from the east, with glassy mornings but then the afternoons get choppy with cross-onshore winds. The combined energy is weak, like 74 to 90 – just not enough push. That’s the story from Monday 20th through to Saturday 25th. Sunday 26th morning has a little bump with 1ft from the SSE, period 12s, glassy, but still only 120 energy – barely surfable.
Then comes the real highlight. Monday 27th July morning – that’s the one to circle. Clean, glassy conditions, a nice 6ft SSE swell with a 13-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 1178 – moderate to strong. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but it’s also a bit big for beginners (over 5ft). The swell direction is SSE, which is close to the optimum SE, so it should line up well. The wind is glass, so expect clean, organised waves. The afternoon gets choppy again, so make it a morning mission.
Tuesday 28th morning has a similar size (6ft) but onshore wind, so not as good. Wednesday 29th morning is another good one: 5ft SSE, 11-second period, glassy calm, energy 527 – still solid, and it’s right at the beginner limit. That’s a decent second option.
After that, the swell drops back through the end of July and into early August. There’s a gap of several days (30th July to 2nd August) with small, weak, or messy conditions. Then on Monday 3rd August morning, the swell jumps to 10ft from the ESE, period 9s, with light cross-on wind. The energy is 1236 – strong – but the comment says it’s too big for this break. For a beginner spot, that’s expert-only territory. The afternoon and Tuesday stay big and messy. So if you’re a beginner, steer clear of that week.
Overall, the best bet is Monday 27th July morning – glassy, solid SSE groundswell, and good energy. Wednesday 29th morning is also worth a look for a cleaner, smaller session. The rest of the window is mostly average or too big.

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.
