Alright, Rusty here.
First up, lookin’ at our little slice of the world at Hebara. It’s a beach and reef set-up, exposed to the swell, so it can pick up some energy, but we’ve got a bit of a wait. The water is about what you’d expect for the season, nothing weird.
We start off with a disappointment. Sunday, July 12th is not the day. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the SSW with a very long 16 second period – that’s a ton of energy (2094), but the wind is a messy 25 km/h cross-shore out of the SW, making it choppy and ugly. It’s just not worth paddling out. The afternoon cleans up slightly to 5ft, but it’s still cross-shore and marginal. Save your energy.
Now, Monday, July 13th is where it gets interesting. That’s our stand-out window. The swell drops to a clean 3ft, still from the SSW and with a long 13 second period (364 energy). But the star of the show is the wind. We are talking glassy conditions. A tiny 5 km/h wind from the SW. That means the ocean will be like a mirror. The report is literally saying “expect good surf conditions”. This is the one to circle on the calendar. For the morning session, you’ll have a clean, long-period groundswell wrapping in. In the afternoon it bumps to 3ft from the S with a 12 second period and stays glassy. This is the best we’re going to see. For the experienced crew, that long period at a beach-break can make things a little straight, but at this size, it will be fun and the paddle out will be easy between sets.
After that, the wheels fall off. Tuesday, July 14th through to Sunday, July 27th is a long, painful stretch. The swell gets tiny, dropping well below 3ft, and the period shortens right down. The wind becomes a messy cross or cross-onshore breeze most days. The energy numbers are pathetic, sitting in the low hundreds. The reports just say “poor surf conditions” over and over. There’s a bump on Saturday, July 18th with a 7ft SSE swell (1278 energy), but it’s blown out by a 20 km/h onshore wind. That’s a messy, dangerous situation. There’s also a pulse on the 27th with a 4ft, 16-second swell, but cross-winds will ruin it again. It’s a long, blank run. Don’t bother until something changes.
So to wrap it up: forget the first weekend. Your only real shot is Monday, July 13th. Get out there for the glassy, clean 3ft to 3ft SSW swell.
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.
