The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here.
First up, we’ve got a slow start at Hebara (beach and reef). The first week is pretty much a write-off. Monday the 27th through to the end of July is all poor surf conditions with weak, messy energy. Winds are mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is small and short-period. The combined energy is low, sitting between 60 and 202 (weak to moderate). There’s really nothing to get excited about here for a solid week.
By Sunday the 2nd of August, things start to stir. The morning shows a bit of a pulse: a 3ft swell from the southeast with a very long period of 14 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 319 (moderate). The wind is a cross-offshore breeze, so the surf is clean. But it’s still marginal, and the afternoon gets messy again.
The real standout of the whole outlook is the stretch from the 5th to the 7th of August. Wednesday the 5th morning is a highlight: clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze, and a solid 10ft swell from the east-southeast, period 17 seconds (very long period groundswell). The combined energy is a massive 5209 (very strong). This is a proper groundswell – long lines, powerful, but at a beach and reef setup, that long period can make the waves break a bit too straight. Still, for experienced surfers, this is a window. The same day afternoon sees the swell jump to 12ft, but the wind turns cross-shore, adding a bit of chop. The swell is so big (over 8ft) that it’s expert-only territory from here on.
Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th keep the energy pumping – 13ft to 15ft swells from the east, with periods around 14-15 seconds. The combined energy stays in the 6800 to 8500 range (very strong). However, the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, so the surface won’t be glassy. The reports say the swell is too big for Hebara, so unless you’re a seasoned charger, sit this one out.
After that, the 8th to the 11th of August sees the swell drop back to 4ft to 6ft, with moderate energy (567 to 1281). Winds are light but cross-onshore, so the quality is marginal. Still, it’s a step up from the first week.
Overall, the best on offer is the morning of Wednesday the 5th of August. Clean, cross-offshore wind, a meaty 10ft ESE groundswell with a 17-second period, and very strong energy. If you’re an expert, that’s the call. The following few days are also big, but with more wind. Otherwise, the first week is a dud, and the second week has a few surfable days but nothing to write home about. Crowds are sometimes a factor at Hebara, so keep an eye out.
Stay stoked,
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.
