The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – for the first week and a bit, it's pretty grim. From Monday the 20th of July right through to the morning of the 28th of July, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is small, the winds are messy, and the conditions are just poor. You’re looking at a long stretch of flat, choppy, or just plain ugly surf. It’s the kind of week where you’d be better off cleaning the wax off your board or going for a fish.
Then, we finally get a bit of life. On the morning of Tuesday the 28th of July, things start to turn. The wind swings around to a light cross-offshore breeze from the north-northeast, and the ocean cleans right up. The swell at Hebara is a modest 3 ft, coming from the south, with a period of 11 seconds. It’s not huge, but it’s clean, and the combined energy is moderate (298). This is a solid, small-day option for a beginner or for anyone wanting to get a few cruisy ones without the crowds. Just keep in mind it can get busy here sometimes.
But the real standout? That’s Thursday the 30th of July. The morning session is where it’s at. The wind is light and offshore from the north, and the swell jumps up to a solid 5 ft from the southwest, with a long 11-second period. The combined energy is strong (706), and it’s going to be clean. This is a proper pulse of groundswell and with a touch of period in it, the waves will have some punch. The break is a beach and reef mix, so it should handle the energy well. This is the best session on offer in the whole run.
Then Friday the 31st of July morning brings another good one. The swell is up to 6 ft from the southwest, but the period drops to a short 8 seconds. The wind is glassy – that’s the magic word. Combined energy is still strong (584), and for a morning session, it’s going to be clean and fun. Anything over 5 ft at this spot can be a bit much for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s prime.
After that, it fades off again into the first week of August with small, poor conditions. The second week is a bit of a write-off, so make the most of that Thursday and Friday.

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.
