The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at the 16-day forecast for the Hebara area. It’s gonna be a bit of a mixed bag, with plenty of days where you’ll be better off doing something else, but there are a couple of windows that’ll get the stoke going.
The immediate outlook is pretty average. Friday the 7th kicks off with a solid 6 ft south swell on the exposed beach and reef, but a cross-onshore wind is gonna chop it up. The wave energy is high (1314), but the quality is poor. Saturday the 8th drops a bit in size, around 4 ft from the south, but it’s onshore, so it’s not great. The next few days are marginal, with a mix of cross and cross-off winds keeping the surf from being clean or consistent.
The one true standout looks like the morning of Sunday the 16th. That’s when we see a 10 ft east swell rolling in, with a period of 11 seconds. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy but surfable. The energy is massive (3493), so this is a powerful swell. For experienced surfers, this is your best bet. The break is exposed, so it’s going to get hit hard, but the size will be pumping. Keep in mind, with that much energy, it could be a bit of a challenge for anyone not used to solid waves.
There’s a small window on the morning of Friday the 21st that’s worth a mention. The swell is only 3 ft from the south, but the wind is glassy – zero wind. That’s a rare treat. The energy is weak (389), so it’s not going to be a big day, but for a beginner or someone wanting a clean, easy session, it’s the best quality you’ll find in the whole period.
Most other days are plagued by onshore or cross-onshore winds, or the swell is too small. There are stretches, like from the 18th to the 20th, where the surf is just poor. The consistency is there, but the quality is missing. The setup at Hebara is a beach and reef, so when the wind is bad, it gets messy fast.
So, bottom line: for the real power, aim for the 16th. For a clean, small wave sesh, the 21st morning is your best bet. The rest is a bit of a gamble.

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.
