Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Hebara, a beach and reef setup that’s consistent, exposed, and needs an offshore from the NW but gets its optimum juice from the SE. This is a bit of a slow burner, so strap in.
Right now, things are looking pretty ordinary. We’ve got a gap with no decent surf on offer through the first few days. The early period is a write-off, with small, choppy, onshore junk from the 3rd through to the 6th. Not worth paddling out for.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday morning, July 7th. A big pulse of long-period groundswell arrives, with waves jumping to 6.2 ft from the SE, coming from the optimum direction. The period is a massive 16 seconds – that’s some serious energy in the water (2759). The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE, so the lineup should actually have some shape. This is a standout window for experienced surfers. The swell is solid, but with that long period, you need to be on your game – it’ll be best on the reef sections here. Wednesday morning the 8th keeps the size up at 8.2 ft (4050 energy) with gentle cross-shore winds, so the quality holds, but again, this is expert territory with that much power.
The real gem in the forecast is Friday morning, July 10th. The swell is still solid at 7.5 ft from the south (2754 energy), but the wind goes glassy. That’s a rare treat. The water temp is sitting at 72.3°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year – about 2.9° below average, so you might want a spring suit. The crowd situation is listed as “sometimes,” so you could score some clean ones if you’re out early.
From July 12th, the swell starts to drop, but Sunday afternoon the 12th and Monday morning the 13th offer glassy conditions on smaller waves (4.6 ft to 2.3 ft). The energy drops off fast, but there’s a short window of clean, user-friendly surf for those who missed the big stuff. After the 14th, it fades into a messy, windy blank spell for the rest of the week, with no real recommendations through to the 18th.
So, your best bet? Aim for Tuesday morning, July 7th, for the biggest, cleanest groundswell, or Friday morning, July 10th, for that glassy perfection. Don’t bother with the first week of July – it’s a dud.

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.
