Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hebara over the next 16 days.
Alright, lads, Rusty checking in. Let's break it down for the next two weeks at Hebara (beach and reef). Water temps are sitting right around average for this time of year at 76°F, nothing out of the ordinary.
We kick things off Sunday the 12th of July with a decent push of long-period groundswell – a 5ft swell from the SSW with a super long 16-second period. But with an onshore cross-shore wind blowing at 12 mph from the SSW, it's going to be choppy and messy. The combined energy is strong at 1318, but the ride is going to be rough. Best to wait it out.
Monday the 13th is your golden ticket. The wind finally plays nice. Monday morning we've got a clean 3ft SSW groundswell (13-second period) under offshore NNW winds at just 3 mph. This is it. The water will be glassy, the lines will be clean, and for a consistent break like Hebara, this is the moment to paddle out. The afternoon holds up nicely too with a light cross-offshore breeze. No question – Monday morning is the pick.
From Tuesday the 14th, things fall apart. Swell drops to under 3ft. Tuesday morning is glassy but the wave energy is weak (161). The rest of the week through the 17th is mostly blown out by cross-onshore winds, leaving poor, choppy conditions.
We get another bump from Friday the 17th into Saturday the 18th. A 7ft to 7ft SE swell arrives with moderate period, but again, the wind stays cross-onshore from the ESE or S. The wave energy is strong (up to 1867), but the onshore wind keeps it messy. At this size, that's one for the experts only. Not a fun paddle for most.
The second week is a slog of consistent but messy surf under a blustery NE flow. Swells hang around the 4ft to 7ft range up to the 22nd, but the cross-shore wind chop spoils things. By the 23rd and into the final days, the swell fades below 3ft, and by the 27th of July, it’s tiny 2ft to 3ft waves with onshore wind. The window closes with a whimper.
The honest truth is you've got one proper standout window. Get on it for Monday the 13th – early morning, offshore wind, clean lines. The rest of the run is a write-off unless you're just desperate to get wet in lumpy water.
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.
