The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the straight-up on Hebara for the next couple of weeks. It’s looking like a patience test. The water’s a warm 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels nice, but the waves aren't playing ball.
The outlook starts on Friday, August 28th, but don't get your hopes up. We’ve got a tiny 2ft east swell with a 12-second period, giving moderate energy (370). The problem is a strong 35 km/h cross-offshore wind that’s making the whole thing a mess. It looks clean but the surf is poor. That’s the story for a long time. From Friday the 28th all the way through to Sunday, September 6th, it’s a wasteland of small swells, strong winds, or just plain ugly conditions. There are a few moments, like the morning of Sunday the 30th with light winds and a tiny 2ft swell, but it’s barely worth paddling out for.
The one slightly better day is Saturday, September 5th. The afternoon shows a bump to 5ft out of the east, but with a short, weak period (6 seconds) and a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is low (276) and that period is terrible, so you might snag a couple of weak ones, but that’s about it.
Now, the real big one is way out there, on Thursday, September 10th. We finally get some proper size: 8ft swell from the SSE with a very long 15-second period – that’s groundswell. The energy is very strong (2695). That's expert territory. The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the ENE, so it won't be perfect, but it’s manageable. This is the only standout in the whole run, but it’s more than a week away. The morning of Friday the 11th also looks promising with a 8ft SSE swell and a light onshore wind, but again, that’s for the big dogs. That long-period groundswell at a beach-and-reef spot like this could be fun for the right crew, or it might just close out.
So, the first week is a real struggle. The second week has the juice, but it’s for experienced surfers. Keep it on the radar.
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.
