The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s in store for the next couple of weeks at the local beach. The first few days are a bit of a write-off – plenty of wind and messy conditions, so you’ll be waiting a while for anything decent. The real standout looks like it’ll be around the middle of the second week, but keep reading.

So, from Wednesday the 12th of August, we’ve got a bit of swell coming through at Hebara, but it’s straight into a risk of thunderstorms and a stiff onshore breeze from the southeast at 16 mph. Swell is around 7 ft coming from the ESE at a period of 9 seconds, but it’s messy. The combined energy is moderate at 762. Water temp is sitting at 82°, which is about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing too wild but noticeably warm. The rest of that week stays pretty average with cross-shore winds and only marginal surf, peaking a bit on Sunday the 16th of August with a 8 ft to 8 ft swell from the east, but the wind is still cross, so it’s not clean. That Sunday has the best energy of the week though, hitting 1069 then 2696 on the afternoon, so there’s push, but the wind spoils it.

Now, the first real highlight comes on Tuesday the 18th of August. Early morning, it’s glassy with a light easterly breeze at 3 mph, and the swell drops to 4 ft from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds – that’s a short period, so it’s a bit of a windswell, but the glassy conditions mean it’ll be clean. Combined energy is a modest 237. This is a good window for beginners as the size is under 5 ft. It’s not a big day, but it’s the best the first week has to offer.

The real standout is a couple of weeks out, on Thursday the 27th of August. The morning session looks magic with a glassy surface, barely a breath of wind out of the southwest at 3 mph. The swell jumps up to 6 ft from the ENE with a short period of 7 seconds, so it’s a bit lumpy in nature, but that glassy wind will make it clean. Combined energy is moderate at 391. This is the best quality surf in the whole forecast. The afternoon sees the wind swinging southerly and picking up, turning it cross-onshore, so get out early. For the more experienced, the Sunday the 16th of August had a bigger swell over 8 ft, but with cross-shore winds, it’s only for the experts – and the energy was high, but the wind kept it from being a standout.

The last week of August sees a few more glassy windows, like the afternoon of the 26th with a tiny 2 ft swell from the SSE and glassy conditions, but it’s small and ordinary. All in all, if you’re keen, aim for the 18th of August morning or the 27th of August morning – that Thursday is the pick of the bunch.

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.
