Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ll be straight with you – the first week is a bit of a write-off. From Saturday the 4th right through to the end of the first week, it’s pretty grim. We’ve got weak, short-period windswell and a constant cross-onshore breeze that’s just gonna chop everything up. The water temperature is running a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 72°, so it’s a bit nippier than usual.
The only real window of opportunity starts to show around Tuesday the 7th. That’s when we see a big jump in the groundswell, with a very long period of 16 seconds and solid energy (1013). The swell is coming from the SSE, and it’s pushing 4 ft on Tuesday morning. The wind is a cross-shore breeze from the NE, which is a bit messy, but it’s not a full onshore. The problem is, the waves are still only marginal. It’s not clean, and the tide might be a factor.
Wednesday the 8th is the standout. The swell builds to 8 ft from the SSE on the morning, with a 17-second period and massive energy (4299). The conditions are a bit better, with a gentle cross-onshore breeze from the ENE. It’s still got that cross-on element, but it’s light, so the surface is only fairly choppy, not a total mess. The afternoon pushes 10 ft from the SE (5796 energy). This is a big, powerful, long-period groundswell. For a beach and reef setup like Hebara, this long period stuff can be a bit tricky – it might be running a bit straight and fast. This is not beginner territory at all; over 8 ft, this is only for experienced surfers. The wave energy is very strong.
Thursday the 9th through to Saturday the 11th keep a similar size, around 7 ft to 8 ft, with the same long period (15-17 seconds) and strong energy. The wind stays light and cross-onshore, so the surf is still going to be a bit lumpy, but it’s rideable. The best of the bunch is probably the Wednesday morning or the Thursday morning, when the swell is big and the wind is lightest.
By Sunday the 12th, the swell starts to drop back below 7 ft, and by Monday the 13th, we’re back to small, weak, poor conditions that last all the way through to the end of the 16-day window. The second week is a total blank.
So, to put it simply: there’s a solid 4-5 day window of big, powerful, long-period groundswell from Tuesday the 7th onwards, but you’ll be dealing with a constant cross-onshore wind. It’s not perfect, but it’s the only real game in town. For experienced surfers, Wednesday the 8th morning is the pick. The crowd situation at Hebara is listed as “sometimes” busy, so expect a few others out there.
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.
