The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, checkin’ in with the long-range look for the one spot that’s got anything on the cards.
We’re looking at a pretty slow start for the next few days, then a real tease of some serious power before it all gets a bit too wild. The first proper chance to get wet doesn’t really show up until the morning of Thursday, July 31st, but even then it’s just ordinary. The real story is the pulse of energy that’s forecast to arrive on the 2nd of August.
The first standout window is Sunday morning, August 2nd at Hebara. This is a beach and reef setup, and it’s normally a consistent spot. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about average for the time of year. We’re looking at a glassy morning with a light SE breeze, which is gonna be clean. The swell is from the SE at 4ft, but the period is a very long 14 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is a solid 594 (moderate), so there’s some push behind it. Keep in mind, long period SE swells can straighten out a bit on a beach break, but for a reef setup, it could be offering up some nice lines. You’ll want to be an intermediate or better for this one.
Now, the big one. Monday morning, August 3rd, the swell jumps. The energy gets massive, with a combined energy of 4099 (strong to very strong). The swell is 8ft from the SE at an 18-second period, which is incredibly long. This is a serious groundswell. The wind is a cross-shore from the NE at 9 mph, which is okay, but the sheer size of this swell is going to make it a heavy, challenging day. This is not for beginners. It’s a big, powerful ocean.
From Tuesday, August 4th, through Wednesday, August 5th, the swell continues to pump, hitting 12ft and then 18ft, but the wind and tide are technically favorable. The problem is the size. With waves over 8ft, this is strictly expert territory. The combined energy readings are in the five-digit range, which is extreme. The setup at Hebara is a beach and reef, and with that much power and a long period, it’s going to be a washing machine. Honestly, for the majority of surfers, this is going to look more interesting for the kite crew than for paddle surfing.
After that, Thursday, August 6th, the wind turns onshore and messy, and the swell drops off. The conditions get poor again. There’s a small window of more manageable waves from the 8th to the 10th, with 4ft to 5ft swell, but the wind is mostly cross-onshore, and the quality is described as marginal. The best of that second week is Sunday morning, August 9th, with a 5ft SE swell at 14 seconds, but you’ll have to deal with an onshore wind.
The long-range forecast for the 13th of August is showing another massive spike in swell, with 12ft to 13ft, but again, it’s likely too big and too risky for a fun session.
So, to wrap it up: the best bet is Sunday morning, August 2nd, for clean, glassy surf with a long-period groundswell. The following Monday and Tuesday offer massive size for the experts only, but it’s a risky game. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.
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.
