The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a rough, lumpy start, then a serious pulse of energy that’s going to be too much for most, and then we’ll see things settle back into some cleaner, smaller windows. Keep your expectations flexible and pick your moments.
The first few days are a write-off for anyone who prefers clean surf. The onshore breeze has the place chopped up and the swell is small and weak. It’s not looking good, plain and simple. This starts to change as we get into the latter part of the week.
The real story, and the standout of the whole period, is Saturday the 19th. A very strong, long-period SE groundswell rolls in, and early on it’s going to be big and clean. However, this is a case of too much of a good thing. The guidance flags it as too big for this break, so only the top-tier experts are going to be out there. The energy readings are through the roof, and it's all a bit overwhelming.
Saturday the 19th is for the brave. The SE swell peaks overnight and into the morning at 5.0m with a 12-second period; that is a serious amount of water moving around.
Then, we get that window on Monday morning the 21st. The swell has backed off to a much more manageable 2.1m from the east with a 10-second period. The wind is light and offshore and it's clean. It’s still a bigger, powerful wave, but with lighter winds it will be cleaner. This is the standout for experienced surfers. The energy has backed off from the weekend, but it's still got some punch.
After that, the power fades. The surf backs right off through the week, and we’re left with a series of small, weak, and often messy days. The rest of the week is small.
A little burst of new energy shows up Sunday morning the 27th. It’s small, around 0.8m but from the south, and with a light offshore wind it’s clean, but not much more than a novelty.
To sum up: If you're an expert, Monday the 21st is the pick. For everyone else, conditions look smaller and cleaner around Sunday the 27th, but it’s not a week to be fussy.

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.
