The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

It’s a slow dance to start. The first few days are small and weak, with only marginal conditions. The real surf doesn’t show up until early September, so there’s a bit of a wait. For the first week, you’re mostly looking at ankle-biters and wonky winds.

Hebara (beach and reef) is the only spot in the game. The water temp is 82°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – makes for a comfortable paddle.

Wednesday the 26th morning is clean but tiny – 3ft from the SSE, weak energy (346), barely surfable. Afternoon gets lumpy with the crosswind.

Thursday the 27th morning is your first real chance. Light offshores, 2ft from the SSE, clean conditions and moderate energy (270). It’s small, but you can get a few if you’re keen.

Friday and Saturday are a wash – messy winds, short-period slop. Saturday afternoon bumps to 4ft but with a 5-second period – just wind-chop.

Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st offer clean but tiny waves in the morning. Knee-high at best.

Tuesday the 1st of September starts a shift. Morning has 2ft of south swell with a 9-second period and clean offshores, energy climbs to 208. Still small. But the afternoon brings a 3ft south swell with a 16-second period – that’s proper groundswell, energy spikes to 643. The wind is onshore, so it’ll be lumpy. This long-period swell prefers points and reefs – at Hebara, it might break a bit straight, but there’s potential.

Wednesday the 2nd of September morning is the standout. 6ft of south swell, period at 12 seconds, energy reading 1029 – strong stuff. Wind is cross-onshore, so not glassy, but workable. This is solid size – too big for beginners, good for intermediate and up. Swell direction is spot on. That’s the session to chase. Afternoon gets bigger (7ft) but windier and choppier.

Thursday the 3rd has 6ft and 5ft with cross-shore winds – still surfable, but not perfect.

The weekend of the 5th and 6th goes huge. 10ft to 12ft with strong cross-shore or cross-onshore winds. Energy readings are massive (1558 to 3895), but the quality is poor. At that size with onshore wind, it’s a kite-surfer’s playground, not a paddle surfer’s.

Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th still have 8ft to 8ft of south swell with good periods, but the cross-onshore wind keeps it choppy.

Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th fade back to small, weak, and onshore. Not worth the effort.

Best call: Get on Hebara on the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September. That’s the one. Solid swell, long period, good energy, and the best direction in the whole forecast. If you can only make one session, that’s it. The 1st of September afternoon is a wildcard for the long-period groundswell, but the wind might mess it up.

For the rest, it’s either small and ordinary, or big and messy. Stay patient until that first week of September.

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.
