The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for you in feet and Fahrenheit.
The opening act is a monster. Tuesday morning the 25th of August, Golfcourse will see a huge 13-foot swell from the SE with a staggering combined energy of 11077 – that's intense, heavy stuff. Way out of the comfort zone for most of us, especially with a cross-on breeze chopping it up. Honestly, that setup looks better for a kite than a paddle board.
The first real clean window to aim for is Thursday afternoon the 27th of August. The wind drops to glass at Golfcourse, leaving you with clean, glassy conditions and waves around 6 feet from the SE. The period is short at 8 seconds and the combined energy is weak (509), so it won’t be a freight train, but the lack of wind will make it fun and approachable for a lot of surfers. It’s a consistent spot, but crowds are often here.
Friday morning the 28th of August cleans up nicely too, with a light cross-offshore breeze. Waves will be a friendly 4 feet from the SE with clean conditions and moderate energy (247).
Looking forward, Friday the 4th of September shows both sessions worth a look. Light cross-offshore wind from the SW, clean waves around 4 feet from the SSE with a moderate period of 11 seconds, and moderate energy (282). It’ll be a nice, easy surf day.
The last highlight in the 16-day stretch is Monday morning the 7th of September. Light cross-offshore breeze from the WNW, waves about 4 feet from the SSE at 8 seconds, with moderate energy (417). Clean and fun expect.
Water temperature is 84°F – about normal for the time of year, with the anomaly being just slightly above.
So to wrap it up: Thursday afternoon (27th) with glassy 6-foot surf is your top pick for clean conditions. Friday (4th September) is a consistent, clean backup with waist to chest-high waves. The rest of the run sees a lot of wind and messy, blown-out conditions, especially heading into the first days of September. Pick your windows smartly.

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.
