The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, lookin’ at the next 16 days for Hebara.
Honestly, for the first week, it’s a bit of a rough stretch. The forecast is messy with a lot of onshore and cross-shore wind, not much quality on offer. The swell is coming through, but it’s choppy and lumpy. The standout period is Monday the 7th through Tuesday the 8th, but you have to read the conditions carefully.
Monday, September 7th is a big day. The swell jumps up to 12ft by the morning from the SSE, with a combined energy of 2704. The wind is cross-shore, but the real story is the afternoon: a 15ft S swell, period 11 seconds, combined energy of 4870, and the wind swings offshore from the WNW at 6 mph. That’s clean. But hear me now – at 15ft, this is *only* for experts. It’s a powerful groundswell and for a beach-and-reef setup like Hebara, it’s going to be a heavy, grunty wave. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Tuesday, September 8th still has a solid 8ft S swell in the morning, but the wind is cross-offshore from the NNE. The afternoon is the highlight: 8ft from the SSE, period 10 seconds, energy 1432, with a gentle offshore breeze from the N at 9 mph. That’s clean, manageable, and the break should be lined up. That’s your best window for experienced surfers who can handle a solid 8ft wave.
After that, it drops off. Wednesday the 9th gets messy again with cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions. The swell holds around 6-6ft but the quality is poor.
Thursday, September 10th afternoon offers a brief reprieve: 4ft from the S, period 9 seconds, with a light offshore from the NW at 9 mph. It’s clean, but the energy is only moderate (528). It’s a fun, small wave for a longboard or a fish.
Then the second week gets quiet. The swell drops to 2ft and 3ft. The water goes glassy on the morning of Wednesday, September 16th and Thursday, September 17th, with a 2ft and 3ft wave – but the swell direction is mixed, period is short to average, and the energy is low (145-227). Surfable, but you’ll be working for every ride. The last few days, from the 18th onward, are a write-off – tiny swell and poor wind.
Bottom line: the best bet is the afternoon of Monday, September 7th for the brave, or Tuesday, September 8th afternoon for the strong intermediate to expert. After that, it’s a waiting game for the next pulse.
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.
