Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Hebara has in store for us over the coming days.
The pattern for Hebara is a bit of a slow burn. We've got a solid run of SE groundswell building into the middle of next week, but the wind is the big question mark. It's almost always coming from the wrong direction, keeping things choppy and cross-onshore. The water is much colder than normal for this time of year, coming in at 71.6°, a solid 4° below average, so a thick wetsuit is non-negotiable.
The first few days are pretty grim. Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th are write-offs with poor conditions and the wind junking up the small swell. Honestly, it’s not worth paddling out.
Things finally start to get interesting around Wednesday the 8th. The swell is on the rise, hitting just under 8 ft from the SE and the energy is building strong (combined energy 3067). The wind is a light cross-onshore, so while it's not glassy perfection, the surface will be rideable with just small ripples. This swell is a long-period groundswell at 16 seconds, which means it has serious punch and will produce some proper shaped waves at the bank, but the long period can make it close out a bit on a beach break. It’s also getting into the size range where beginners should sit it out.
The best of the run looks to be Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th. The swell holds steady around 6.5-6.9 ft from the SSE and S, and the period stays long at 16 seconds. The wind remains light, mostly cross-on or cross-shore, which will keep the surface from getting too messy. The wave energy is strong (2371 to 2262). It’s a solid, powerful swell but it’s also big enough that only experienced surfers should be out there. The crowds are only sometimes here, so you might get some clean ones without fighting for them.
By Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th, the swell starts to back off and the wind gets stronger and more onshore again, turning things choppy. After that, from Monday the 13th onward, we drop into a long, flat spell. The swell signal collapses and we're looking at a solid week of poor surf with weak energy and messy wind right through to Sunday the 19th.
There is a flicker of hope right at the end of the window on Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st. A new, smaller E swell builds to 6.2-6.9 ft with moderate energy (759-1208). The wind is finally cross-shore, not onshore. The period is a short 9-10 seconds though, so it’s wind swell. This is a long-range call, so treat it as a promising but less certain. For now, Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th at Hebara are the true standouts.

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.
