The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and knots.
The first few days at Hebara are just a mess. Sunday morning, you’ve got a 4ft SE groundswell (703 combined energy), but the wind is coming from the NE at 9 mph, cross-shore, making it bumpy and choppy. Not worth the paddle. The afternoon gets a bit bigger, 5ft (853), but the wind kicks up to 16 mph, and it’s still cross-shore. No good.
Monday and Tuesday, the swell is building, but it’s all cross-shore and lumpy. By Tuesday afternoon, the swell is 12ft (6198) – that’s a serious, long-period groundswell – but the wind is howling at 22 mph, making it a lumpy, messy beast. This is expert-only, and honestly, it’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle session.
Now, Wednesday and Thursday, the 5th and 6th of August, are the big standouts. Wednesday morning, the swell hits 13ft (7838) with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 19 mph. The wind is crisp, the waves are huge, but it’s massive. 13ft at 16 seconds is a serious groundswell, and it’s likely breaking too straight for the beach breaks. Stick to the reefs or points if you’re an expert. Thursday morning still has a clean 12ft (6274) from the SSE, but the wind swings onshore in the afternoon.
After that, it’s a drop-off. Friday through to the end of the first week, we see a mix of cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. The swell drops to 5ft – 7ft, but it’s all messy.
The real gem is Tuesday, the 11th of August. The afternoon goes completely glassy. A light SE breeze at 3 mph, no wind. The swell is 6ft from the east (1008), and it’s an excellent call for experienced surfers. The period is 12 seconds, so there’s good shape. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Clean, glassy waves, and the crowds are only “sometimes” so you might have it to yourself.
The following days are a write-off. Wednesday and Thursday are hammered by strong winds, and the swell is either too big or too messy. By Friday the 14th of August, the swell is back up to 10ft (3917) but with a lumpy cross-shore. Saturday the 15th has a clean 12ft (4185) but it’s too big for the break – expert only, and with onshore wind.
The final days of the 16-day run are just average. Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th bring 6ft – 7ft of east swell, but it’s all cross-shore and chopped out. Not worth it.
So, the best of the best is Tuesday afternoon, the 11th of August. Glassy, clean, 6ft, and perfect for the experienced surfer. The big stuff from the 5th to the 7th is for experts only, and it’s a bit wild. The rest of the time, the wind is the boss.
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.
