The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
It’s gonna be a bit of a waiting game at Hebara, a beach and reef setup exposed to the swell. Right now, the ocean’s a bit of a mess. Through the weekend and into the start of next week, we’ve got a funky mix of onshore and cross-shore winds messing up what little swell is around. You’ll see waves in the 4ft to 7ft range, but the wind’s just not playing ball, leaving a chop on the surface. The combined energy is moderate, but the quality is poor. It’s a frustrating stretch for a paddle surfer.
Things finally change on Tuesday, August 11th. This is our standout. Overnight, a solid 10ft swell from the ENE rolls in, packing a seriously strong energy reading. The wind goes offshore from the WNW at 9 mph, turning the lineup clean as a whistle. This is excellent surf, but let me be clear: at 10ft, this is for experienced surfers only. The period is a nice 11 seconds, giving it proper power and shape. By the afternoon, the wind goes glassy-light from the NNW at just 3 mph, and it’ll be even cleaner. This is the window to be in the water.
After that brief glory, the consistency drops off. Wednesday, August 12th, holds some size with 8ft to 10ft swell, but a fresh 22 mph north wind kicks up some lumpy conditions. The energy is still very strong, but it’s not as clean as Tuesday. From Thursday the 13th onwards, it’s a long, drawn-out fade. The swell drops, the wind stays messy from the east and north-east, and the water gets choppy. The combined energy sinks away into nothing by Tuesday the 18th. We’re looking at a solid gap of poor conditions from late in the week through the entire second week.
So, the call is simple: wait for that Tuesday, August 11th, dawn patrol. That’s your only real shot at greatness.
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.
