The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the outlook for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, so don’t rush to the water just yet.
The first real chance of a wave comes in on Wednesday the 2nd of September. The swell is small, around 3ft from the ESE, but the wind is glassy in the morning. That’s a major plus, and it’s the only window in the first week where the conditions line up. The water is sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year.
For the first few days, the wind is a real problem. It’s blowing onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is weak and short-period. The combined energy of all swells directed here is in the low 200s (288) on Tuesday, but the surf is just poor. Honestly, Thursday and Friday aren’t much better with winds whipping up and rain around.
Then early next week, things get a bit bigger, but not better. A pulse of swell arrives on Monday the 7th, with 6ft from the east, but the wind is howling onshore at 18-25 mph, making a mess of it. The energy is strong (733) but the quality is all wrong. By Tuesday the 8th, the swell is 7ft from the SSE, but again, the wind is cross-onshore and lumpy, and the energy is up to 1195. This is a setup that looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The standout window is the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September. The swell jumps to 10ft from the SSE with an 11-second period, and the wind drops to a light 3 mph cross-on. The combined energy here is massive (1909), but it’s a heavy, powerful swell. At 10ft, this is only for experts. It’s a long-period groundswell, which will be better at a reef or point break, but at Hebara, which is a beach and reef setup, it might break a bit straight. Still, the potential for a clean, big wave session is real. Thursday the 10th holds similar size and energy, but the wind turns more onshore.
After that, the swell drops back down through the second week, with cleaner conditions and smaller, more manageable waves around 4ft to 5ft from the S and ESE, but the wind is often cross-shore or cross-on, so it’s marginal. The water is still warm.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is the 9th of September. It’s big, powerful, and clean, but only for the experienced crew. The rest of the window is average at best.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
