Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Alright, mate, so for this spot, it’s a bit of a slow burn to start. We’ve got a tiny, weak little swell hanging around from Friday the 3rd through Monday the 6th, but honestly, you wouldn’t paddle out for it. The waves are small and the conditions are just ordinary. Best to save your energy for later in the week.
Now, Tuesday the 7th is where things start to get interesting. That morning, the wind goes glassy from the NNE, and the swell jumps to 3 ft from the ESE with a nice long period. The energy really starts humming at 879, giving the waves some proper shape. This is the first real standout of the period. The water is sitting at 77°, which is a bit cooler than normal for the time of year, but that won’t matter with clean lines rolling in.
That Tuesday afternoon sees the swell jump up to 6 ft from the ESE with a very long period, and energy skyrockets to 1811. But the wind turns a bit cross-on, so the quality drops. Still, this is a building phase.
The real beast comes in on Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th. Swell size climbs to 10 ft then 12 ft from the SE, with energy readings between 5025 and 6397 – that’s serious power. The wind is light, but it’s cross-on or onshore, keeping the surface a bit messy. More importantly, this size is way too big for this setup. This is strictly for big-wave specialists, and honestly, even for them, the conditions aren’t ideal. The waves will be messy and overwhelming.
That big swell eases through the weekend and into the start of the next week. Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th still have solid size (8 ft to 12 ft), but the wind stays cross-on. By Sunday the 12th, the swell drops to 5 ft from the SSE, and that morning looks glassy. That’s a good session for someone who wants cleaner, more manageable waves, but the energy is fading to 669.
After that, from Monday the 13th onward, the surf gets pretty small again – 2 ft to 3 ft – with a mix of glassy mornings but mostly cross-on winds in the afternoons. The energy is weak and the waves are ordinary. Nothing worth jumping for.
For the best surf this outlook, get out there Tuesday morning, July 7th. Glassy wind, 3 ft of clean ESE groundswell, and decent energy. The break is 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.
