The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Look, I’m gonna be straight with you. For the next week and a half, it's a real struggle here at Hebara. We’ve got a long, flat spell on our hands. From now until the end of July, the swell is tiny, the winds are mostly rubbish, and the score is next to nothing. It’s a pretty grim stretch of small, messy waves.
The first real flicker of life doesn't show up until the morning of Tuesday, the 4th of August. But even then, it’s a tease. The swell jumps up to 4ft from the SE, with a period of 12 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 614 (moderate), but the winds are a cross-offshore breeze out of the NNE. It’s clean, but the overall call is still a marginal one. Not something to get excited about.
The real event, and the only standout in this whole outlook, is the morning of Wednesday, the 5th of August. This is a beast. The forecast shows a solid 12ft swell from the SE, riding on a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is a massive 5692, which is strong. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NE. This is a huge, powerful groundswell. But, and this is a massive but, at 12ft, this is strictly for the experts. It’s way too big for anyone else. The good news is that the wind and tide are favorable, and the setup is clean, but the sheer size makes it a serious, heavy day. For a beach-and-reef break like Hebara, a long-period SE swell this big will be a proper handful.
After that, it just keeps getting bigger and more dangerous. By Thursday, the 6th, we’re looking at 15ft swells and by Friday, the 7th, it’s 18ft. The wind stays favorable for the morning sessions, but it's a zone of pure, raw power that only the bravest and most experienced will even consider. A 17-second period on an 18ft swell is a conversation with the ocean, not a surf session.
To be honest, for the average surfer, there’s almost nothing to recommend here. The only window for a decent paddle is for the absolute experts on the morning of Wednesday, the 5th. For everyone else, this is a watching-from-the-beach kind of forecast.
Stay safe out there.

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.
