Hebara Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Hebara over the next sixteen days.

Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch for paddle surfing. The first real sniff of anything surfable doesn’t show up until the morning of Thursday the 20th, and even then it’s barely a whisper. Before that, we’ve got a solid week of onshore and cross-shore winds, messy conditions, and marginal surf. The wind is mostly from the northeast and east-northeast, creating a constant cross-chop, and the swell quality is poor. The combined energy is moderate at best, sitting around 432 early on, but it’s all short-period, wind-affected junk.

The only day that even gets a mention is Thursday morning, August 20th. The wind goes completely glassy (0 mph), and the water temp is a balmy 82°F with a positive anomaly of 2°F, so it’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The swell is tiny, just 2 ft from the east with a short period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 110. It’s glassy, which is a major positive for clean conditions, but the waves are barely surfable. If you’re desperate for a滑水, you could get a log out and catch some thigh-high dribblers. It’s not going to be a standout.

After that, we drift into a mix of onshore winds and tiny, weak swells for the rest of the second week. The morning of Saturday the 22nd has a clean cross-offshore breeze from the north-northeast, but the swell is only 3 ft from the south-southwest, and the energy is a low 180. It’s not enough to get excited about.

Bottom line: there’s no solid surf in this window. The one day with glassy conditions, Thursday the 20th, is just too small to be a proper session. The rest is a write-off. For the area, this kind of blank run isn’t totally unusual, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
