The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's coming up.
Honestly, the first week and a half is a bit of a dud. We're looking at tiny, crummy waves and messy conditions all the way through the end of July. The swell is small, the wind is all over the place, and there's just no go-power to get you stoked. It's one of those stretches where you might as well give the board a rest.
The first real sign of life pops up on Saturday, August 1st. We start seeing a little pulse, with the combined energy picking up to moderate levels (252). It's still nothing to write home about, but the wind is light and the direction is starting to swing around. The waves are small, around 2ft to 3ft, with a long period of 16 seconds rolling in from the ESE. It's a groundswell, so it'll have some shape, but at a spot like Hebara, which is a mix of beach and reef, it might be a little too lined up. Still, it's a start.
Things get serious on Sunday, August 2nd. The swell jumps to a solid 5ft to 6ft from the ESE, with a very long period of 17 seconds. The energy is strong (1449-1858). The wind is light and cross-on, which is okay, but the real story is the size and punch. This is proper groundswell, and while it's a bit much for beginners at that size, it has all the right stuff for a quality session. The water temp is a normal 79° for this time of year, no surprises.
But the big news, the one you've been waiting for, is Monday, August 3rd and Tuesday, August 4th. We're looking at a monster swell that's going to be way too big for most. On Monday morning, the swell is already 10ft from the ESE with an 18-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 5643. The wind is cross from the SSW, which is clean. The problem is that by Tuesday morning, it's up to 12ft and the energy is 6867, with the forecast flat-out saying it's too big for the break. This is expert-only, no questions asked. The swell direction (ESE) is a perfect match for what Hebara likes, so the wave quality will be there, but you'll need serious skills and a lot of guts to get amongst it. The crowd profile suggests it could get busy, but at that size, it'll sort the men from the boys.
If you're not a big-wave charger, the best window for a more manageable wave is the Saturday, August 1st to Sunday, August 2nd period. The waves are smaller, the energy is building, and the light winds will keep the surface clean. For the big stuff, you'll want to be on it from the 3rd to the 4th, but only if you know what you're doing.
Rusty.

Information about the Hebara Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hebara provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hebara can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hebara 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 (Hebara) 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 Hebara 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.
Hebara is 8 km (5 miles) from Ohara. If you plan a holiday in Chiba, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ohara. Ohara has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
