The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Hebara over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – the first week is a tough one. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing but cross-shore to onshore winds, choppy slop, and just flat-out poor surf. The water temp is sitting around 78°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there. But from Sunday the 19th to the 26th, it's a real struggle. There are a few mornings where it gets a bit glassy, like Thursday the 23rd, with a light ENE breeze and tiny 3 ft waves from the east, but the conditions are just ordinary. You’ll be scratching around for anything rideable. The combined energy is weak to moderate (150 to 302), and the period is short (8 to 10 seconds), so it’s all just windswell mush. Not worth paddling out for.
Then we get a bit of a reprieve. From Monday the 27th, the swell starts to show some life. We’re looking at a solid S groundswell building, and by Tuesday the 28th, the morning has 4 ft swell from the south with a period of 14 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy jumps to 749 – moderate. The wind is only a light ENE breeze, so it’s cross-shore with just a little ripple. That’s about as clean as it gets for this stretch. The waves will have some shape and power, but at a beach and reef setup like Hebara, that long period can make it a bit tricky, sometimes breaking too straight. Still, for a Tuesday morning, that’s your best bet in the whole outlook.
The standout, though, is a bit of a wildcard. Look at Monday the 3rd of August. The morning has 10 ft swell from the SE with a period of 18 seconds – that’s a monster groundswell, and the combined energy is a whopping 6581. That’s serious power. The wind is onshore from the SE, but the afternoon session actually gets a score that says the swell is too big for this break. 12 ft and 18 seconds is expert territory only. Unless you’re a seasoned charger, you’ll want to give that a miss or watch from the shore. The period is so long it’ll be heaving, but it’s gonna be a beast.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off. The second week starts to show some promise from the 27th, with Tuesday the 28th being the pick of the lighter days. The real event is on the 3rd of August, but that’s a big-wave show for pros only. For the rest of us, keep an eye on the forecasts, because things can change.

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.
