The Lowdown
Righto, grab your stick and listen up. It's Rusty here, and I'm looking at the surf prospects for our local gem, Hebara.
The next couple of days are a bit of a write-off for the average surfer. We've got a serious pulse of energy rolling in, but it's too much of a good thing. The water's sitting at a warm 27°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won't need a thick wetsuit.
The action starts Tuesday, August 4th, with a solid 3.5m SE swell backed by a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is absolutely roaring at 6322, but at that size, it's strictly for the experts only. The wind is a fresh cross-shore, so it'll be lumpy and messy. Wednesday, August 5th, is more of the same: 3.5m swell with a 14-second period and a combined energy of 5411. The morning sees a cross-offshore breeze, so it'll be cleaner, but still way too big for most. The afternoon turns lumpy again.
We get a break in the massive swell on Thursday, August 6th, when the swell drops to 2.5m, but the wind turns cross-on and the conditions get choppy. The forecast quality drops off hard, and honestly, the rest of the first week isn't worth paddling out for. From Friday the 7th through to Sunday the 9th, we're looking at rain, onshore winds, and poor surf with only marginal or poor conditions. The swell drops to around 1.6m to 1.9m, but the wind is all wrong.
The second week doesn't offer much redemption. Monday, August 10th, has a 1.3m SSW swell with a 16-second period, but it's small and the wind is a fresh 30 km/h, so it's on the choppy side. The next few days see a mix of cross-off and cross-shore winds, but the swell is either too small, too short-period, or plagued by onshore winds and risk of thunderstorms. The combined energy drops to three-digit figures like 787 or 893, which is weak.
There's a slight uptick in size around Saturday, August 15th, with a 2.0m ESE swell, but the wind is onshore and the period is a short 10 seconds. The best-looking session in the whole 16-day window is probably the morning of Sunday, August 16th, with a 2.5m ESE swell and a 10-second period, combined with a light cross-on breeze. The combined energy jumps to 2291, indicating moderate energy. But even then, it's still onshore and the short period means it'll be a bit of a close-out mess.
Honestly, lads, there's no standout session here. The only time we had anything close to good was the clean cross-off winds on Wednesday morning, but the 3.5m swell was too big for anyone but the heavy hitters. For the rest of it, the setups look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that persistent cross-shore and cross-on wind.
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.
