The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s cookin’.
It’s a slow start. From the 24th through the 29th, it’s flat and messy. The wind is junk, the waves are small, and the surf is poor. Water temp is about 79°, which is normal for this time of year.
The first real chance comes on the morning of Thursday, 30th July at Hebara. It’s a beach and reef spot, exposed to the swell. The waves are only about 4ft from the ENE, but the wind is glassy, dead calm. That’s clean, smooth surf. The combined energy is moderate at 201. It’s a consistent break, so there’ll be waves to ride. Crowds are possible, so expect some company. This is the best bet of the first week, hands down.
After that, it fades again. Friday, 31st July is tiny, and the weekend is choppy and onshore. The 1st and 2nd of August pick up a bit, with waves up to 5ft, but the wind is cross-on and the surf is poor. Not worth it.
Now, the second week gets big. For experts only. On the morning of Wednesday, 5th August, you’ve got 8ft swell from the SE, with a very long 16-second period. That’s real groundswell, but it’s gonna break straight at a beach break, so it’s tricky. The wind is clean, cross-off. The combined energy is strong at 2962.
Then Thursday, 6th August, the morning is a beast. 12ft from the SE, 17-second period, clean cross-off wind. The combined energy is massive at 6535. The guidance says it’s too big for this break, and I’m with that – it’s for the brave only. Friday, 7th August, is 16ft with an 18-second period, and Saturday, 8th August, is 20ft with an 18-second period. The wind is offshore or cross-off, but the energy is over 21,000. This is not a surf session; it’s more of a kiteboarding show. For a paddle surfer, it’s dangerous.
So, the standout is the glassy morning of Thursday, 30th July. Get out there. After that, it’s a long wait, and then the big stuff is for the madmen.
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.
