The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at the outlook for Hebara. It's a beach and reef set-up, and it's exposed to the swell, so it can pick up a bit of energy through the window.
The forecast starts off pretty quiet and a bit messy. We've got a gap of a few days with no real recommendations. The early part of the week, from Monday the 20th through to the end of the week, is a write-off with poor surf conditions and a cross-shore wind. The swell is small, around 3ft, and the energy is weak to moderate (171). Not worth paddling out for.
There's a flicker of something on Wednesday the 22nd morning. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a 3ft easterly swell (228). That's a nice window, but the swell is still small. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
Then we get a period of very small, weak swell through the end of July. The real story starts to build a week out. On Monday the 27th of July, the morning sees a clean cross-offshore breeze with a 2ft southerly swell. That's small, but the energy is already moderate (245). The standouts are on Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th of July. Tuesday morning looks like the best on offer. Expect a clean, light breeze with a 5ft southerly groundswell, period a solid 13 seconds, and the energy is strong (794). That's a proper push. It's a bit on the bigger side, so not ideal for beginners. Wednesday morning is similar, with a 5ft southerly swell (893), but the wind is a light cross-shore, so it won't be as clean as Tuesday. The swell direction for both days is from the south, which is a good match for the optimum for Hebara (SE is close enough to be solid).
The swell really kicks in for the first week of August. On Monday the 3rd of August, the swell is pushing 6ft from the ESE (energy 2287), and by Tuesday the 4th of August, it's a whopper at 8ft from the ESE with a very long period of 18 seconds and very strong energy (4868). This is expert territory only. The problem is the wind is a persistent cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. This setup looks more interesting for the kite surfers than paddle surfers, especially with those big, long-period swells that can be a bit tricky on a beach break.
So, the real standout window is the morning of Tuesday the 28th of July. Get it while it's clean. The following week has the size, but the wind is a letdown. Crowds are possible at Hebara "sometimes," so keep an eye out.
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.
