The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

The big story here is that we’ve got a solid pulse of long-period groundswell rolling in, but it’s a case of too much of a good thing for a lot of the period. The first few days are going to be too big and powerful for a comfortable paddle at the main setup.

The first real action is Tuesday morning, August 4th at Hebara. This is a beach and reef break, exposed to the swell. We’re looking at a hefty 12ft swell from the SE with a very long 16 second period. The combined swell energy is strong (6610). That is a lot of water moving around. The wind is a cross-shore from the NE at 35 km/h, which is a fresh breeze. While the forecast says the wind and tide align, the swell is just too big for this spot. It’s clean on Wednesday morning, August 5th, with the swell even bigger at 13ft from the SE and a 15 second period, but again, it’s over the top. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it’s a handful. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

The first time we start to see a window that’s not completely oversized is Thursday morning, August 6th. The swell drops to 10ft from the SSE with a 14 second period, and the combined energy is still solid (3581). The wind swings light from the ENE at 15 km/h, making it a gentle cross-shore with just a slight chop. It’s still a bit on the big side for the average surfer, but the conditions are cleaner and the energy is more manageable. The afternoon gets choppier.

After that, we hit a rough patch. From Friday, August 7th, through to Saturday, August 15th, the conditions are a mix of onshore winds, poor surf quality, and messy seas. There are a few days with clean cross-offshore winds, like the week of August 10th, but the swell is still inconsistent and the wave quality is marginal, with a lot of lumpy chop. The swell drops right down through the middle of the period.

The next real standout, and the best option in the whole window, is Monday, August 17th. The swell is 8ft from the ESE with a 13 second period, and the combined energy is moderate (2097). It’s still a big swell, but it’s much more manageable for strong intermediates. The risk of thunderstorms is there, but it’s a clean onshore wind. The session before that, on Tuesday, August 18th, also looks promising with a 8ft ESE swell, a very long 16 second period, and a light onshore breeze from the SE. The combined energy is strong (2985). This is a classic groundswell, and with the long period, it will be best at the reef and river mouth sections of Hebara, where it won’t just close out.

Overall, it’s a tough run. The first few days are a washout for most, and the middle of the period is poor. The best bet is to aim for the end of the second week, specifically the 17th and 18th of August, where the size is big but the conditions are more favourable. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off, with a lot of cross-onshore winds and poor surf.

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.
