The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

To be honest, the start of the run is a bit of a fizzer. We've got a few days of small, messy stuff that’s just not worth paddling out for. The first real chance to get wet doesn't come until Tuesday the 4th of August, and even then, it's a tricky one.

The standout spot is Hebara. This beach and reef setup is consistent and exposed to the SE, which is exactly what the swell models are pointing at. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is bang on average for this time of year – no surprises there.

Now, from Tuesday morning the 4th through to Thursday morning the 6th, we’ve got a serious pulse of swell. We’re looking at a solid 12 ft to 13 ft of SE groundswell, with a period of 15-16 seconds. That’s a *lot* of energy moving through – we’re talking figures in the 7,000 to 9,000 range (combined swell energy). The wind is blowing cross-offshore from the NNE, which is keeping the surface clean. But here’s the kicker: that size is way too big for this break. The file says it's too big for even the experienced lads, so this is strictly for the big-wave chargers only. For the average punter, this is a miss.

After that, things settle down a bit, but the quality is still a bit mixed. The wind tends to be a fresh cross-shore from the NE, which just puts a bit of lumpy chop on the face. The swell sticks around in the 5 ft to 8 ft range, but the conditions are more "marginal" than "magic." There's a couple of cleaner moments on the 13th and 14th of August when the wind goes cross-off again, but the swell energy is much weaker, around the 1,000 to 1,600 mark.

The real second standout, and this one is a bit of a long shot, lands on Saturday the 15th of August. The morning looks promising with a 10 ft ESE swell, a 13-second period, and clean cross-off winds from the NNE. The energy is moderate (3,602), and the forecast gives it a decent nod. It’s a promising window, but being over a week out, you’ve gotta treat it as a hopeful rather than a certainty.

The run then gets wild again on the 16th of August, with a massive 25 ft to 21 ft ESE swell. That’s a monster, and again, it's flagged as too big for the break. Unless you’re a tow-in pro, look away.

So, if you’re after a paddle, your best bet is to keep an eye on the morning of the 15th of August. That window offers the best mix of size, decent period, and clean wind. The rest of the time, it’s either too big, too messy, or just not enough juice. The setup at Hebara is a beach and reef, and with the strong winds and big, poor-quality swell, I’d say it’s looking more interesting for the kite surfers than the paddle crew for most of this period.

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.
