The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a rough stretch. The first few days are a write-off. Friday the 4th through to Sunday the 6th are all heavy rain, strong cross-onshore winds, and the swell is just a messy, lumpy mess. You wouldn’t want to be out there. The combined energy is sitting at 884 to 2522, so there’s plenty of power in the water, but the wind is just tearing it apart. This is a classic case of more trouble than it’s worth.
Things start to get a little interesting around Monday the 7th. The morning at Golfcourse is the standout of the whole window. The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the NNE, and the swell is a solid 10 ft from the NE with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a massive 3326, which is a lot of grunt. The catch is, the notes say it’s predicted to be too big for this break. If you’re an expert with a big-wave board, get on it. For the rest of us, it’s a spectator sport. The water temp is 84°F, which is about average for this time of year.
After that Monday morning peak, it drops off again. Tuesday the 8th through to the end of the first week is just average to poor. The swell drops to 4 ft or less, and the wind is messy.
The second week is a lot quieter. From the 12th to the 14th, we’re looking at tiny, long-period swell (14-15 seconds) but it’s mostly cross-onshore or weak. The combined energy drops to 174-303, which is weak. There’s nothing here to get excited about. The real interesting bit comes right at the end of the window. On the morning of Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th, we get glassy conditions with a tiny 2 ft to 3 ft swell from the east. The combined energy is weak (80-150), but if you’re a beginner or just want to get a few ankle-biters in perfect conditions, that’s your window. On Thursday the 17th afternoon, the wind goes light cross-off, making it clean. The best wave on offer, by a long shot, is the Monday the 7th morning session at Golfcourse for the experts.
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.
