The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for our local spot. Straight up, this is not a good run. We have a single break on the cards, Golfcourse, and the truth is we are looking at a long, frustrating wait for anything even close to surfable.
The pattern is grim from the get-go. The first week is totally dominated by stormy, dangerous conditions. A massive, powerful swell arrives on Thursday the 6th of August with an enormous 18ft to 23ft range out of the ESE. That combined wave energy is cranked up to 12,634 – very strong. But with a screaming 25 mph onshore wind, it’s a total write-off. This isn’t surfing; it’s survival. This setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. That brutal onshore breeze sticks around for days, keeping everything blown out and messy. Even when the swell drops, the wind stays bad.
The second week is just as frustrating in a different way. The surf drops away to almost nothing. From about the 10th of August, we’re looking at a gap of several days where we only have marginal, knee-to-waist high scraps with poor quality. There is simply nothing to recommend. The water temp is sitting around 85°, which is about average for the time of year here.
If you squint at the very end of the run, there is one tiny glimmer. On the morning of Thursday the 20th of August, there’s a bump in the swell back up to 8ft from the E. The wind finally looks like it might ease off, but it’s still cross-onshore. However, by the afternoon, the swell jumps to 10ft, and the system flags it as too big for Golfcourse – that kind of size with that direction is expert-only territory at a beach break. The combined energy jumps to 2,643 (moderate to strong). It’s a long way off, so don't hold your breath. The only other possible moment is the morning of Friday the 21st of August, with a more manageable 8ft swell, but again, the wind is not clean. It’s a disappointing outlook. Best advice: give this one a wide berth for the next two weeks.
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.
Golfcourse is 6 km (4 miles) from Miyazaki-shi. If you plan a holiday in Kyu Shu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Miyazaki-shi. Miyazaki-shi has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
