The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Hebara has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
It’s a bit of a slow start, to be honest. We’ve got a gap right now with no real surf on offer until Sunday afternoon, and even then it’s a bit of a dud. That first window on Sunday the 9th is a non-starter – 6ft of ESE swell with a cross-onshore breeze and fairly choppy conditions. The wave energy is moderate (1134), but the quality just isn’t there. You’d be better off waiting.
Monday the 10th brings a bit more size – 7ft from the east – and the morning looks clean with a cross-offshore NNE breeze at 16 mph, but the forecast says the surf quality is still marginal. The energy is strong (1343), but it’s not really coming together for a good paddle. The afternoon gets chopped out.
Now, Tuesday the 11th is where it starts to get interesting. That morning session is the real standout of this first week. We’ve got 6ft of ENE swell, period around 10 seconds, and a clean cross-offshore breeze. Wave energy is pumping at 1351 and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is a solid window. The afternoon cleans up even more with a light offshore from the WNW and 5ft of east swell – that’s glassy and clean (885 energy). This is the best on offer, hands down.
After Tuesday, things get messy. Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th are poor with onshore winds and storm risks. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th pick up some size again – Saturday morning has 8ft from the east with clean conditions, but the surf is still marginal in the forecast. Saturday afternoon gets big – 10ft from the east with 12-second period – that’s a lot of energy (2397), but it’s lumpy and cross-shore. Only for the experts, and even then, it’s a handful.
We hit another quiet patch from Sunday the 16th through to Thursday the 20th. Mostly small, weak, and onshore. A few clean windows pop up, like Monday the 17th morning with 3ft and a light offshore, but it’s tiny and weak (209 energy). There’s a gap of several days here with no real recommendations – just a whole lot of nothing.
Now, looking further out into the second week, there’s a bit of a glimmer. Sunday the 23rd is the long-range standout. We’ve got a south swell, 4ft, with a very long 12-second period, and it’s clean with light cross-offshore winds in the morning. The afternoon looks even better with a light offshore from the west. Energy is moderate (471-527) but the quality is good to very good. That south swell at Hebara, a beach and reef break, can be a bit straight with that long period, but when it’s clean like that, it’s worth a look. It’s promising, but less certain this far out.
Monday the 24th sees another pulse – 6ft from the SSE with a 10-second period and clean cross-offshore winds in the morning. Energy is strong (1215), but the afternoon gets chopped out again.
So, if you’re asking me, Tuesday the 11th is your best bet for the first week. Get on it. That Sunday the 23rd is the one to keep an eye on for the second week. The crowds at Hebara can be a thing sometimes, so don’t expect to have it to yourself if it’s good.
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.
