Table - best surf conditions forecast for Golfcourse over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Golfcourse is the only break in the picture – a beginner-friendly spot that's fairly consistent and catches south-east swells. Water temp is 84°F, which is average for late August. Gotta be honest, the next ten days are not looking great here. There’s a big swell coming, but wind and storms will mess it up.
Best bet in the first week is Friday morning, August 28. Swell drops to 4ft from SSE with a weak 7-second period – combined energy is low (238). The wind turns light from the south, cross-offshore, cleaning the surface right up. It won't be pumping, but it’ll be clean and surfable.
Saturday morning August 29th is dead glassy (2ft, E swell, 12-second period) but tiny – energy 186. Sunday morning August 30th is also glassy, even smaller at 2ft (11-second period, energy 115). Barely worth paddling out.
Then things get rough. From Tuesday September 1st through Thursday September 10th, the swell size jumps but the wind is mostly cross-onshore from the SE or ESE at 12-19 mph, with thunderstorms. On Wednesday September 2nd, the swell hits 13ft from SE with an 11-second period and energy of 6608 – serious size, but it’s going to be lumpy and choppy. Thursday September 4th afternoon has 10ft from SE, 9-second period, energy 1498, with the wind shifting a bit cross-shore. That’s too big for most – experts only, and even then the chop will be nasty. Honestly, that’s kite-surfing weather, not paddle-surfing.
Stretching into the second week, Monday morning September 7th stands out: 5ft from ESE, 9-second period, combined energy 605, and glassy conditions. That’s your cleanest window in the whole forecast – small but rideable.
So, two decent windows: Friday 28th morning and Monday 7th morning. The rest is either flat, blown out, or too big and sloppy. A mostly quiet, scruffy outlook for Golfcourse.

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.
