The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming.
The water temp is 79°F, which is nothing out of the ordinary for the season. The forecast for Hebara is a real rollercoaster. It’s a consistent beach and reef setup, open to the swell, but we’re looking at a long stretch where the ocean just isn’t cooperating.
The first real glimmer of something good doesn’t happen until Tuesday, September 8th. Before that, it’s pretty grim. On Sunday the 7th, the swell pumps up to 13ft from the SE, but with thunderstorms and a cross-onshore wind, it’s a total mess. Only for the brave and experienced.
But Tuesday afternoon on the 8th is the one to circle. The wind goes glassy, a light 3 mph breeze from the ENE, and the swell drops to a still very solid 10ft from the SSE. The combined energy is a strong 1630. It’s a long period groundswell at 10 seconds, so the waves will have some punch and shape. At this size, it’s strictly for experienced surfers. It’ll be clean, powerful, and with crowds possible, but the size should keep it less busy.
After that, it fades. Wednesday the 9th has a smaller, cleaner afternoon with 5ft from the SSE and light offshore wind, but the energy drops off. From Thursday the 10th all the way to the 19th, it’s mostly small, weak, and messy. Lumpy cross-shore winds and poor conditions dominate.
So the plan is simple: aim for that Tuesday afternoon, September 8th. That’s your big, clean, powerful session. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a washout for decent waves.
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.
