Hebara Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are pretty quiet around Hebara, with just a few windows where it might be worth paddling out. The water here is sitting at around 82° right now, which is about a degree and a half warmer than average – feels nice, that’s for sure.

We start off on Sunday the 23rd with tiny waves around 2ft from the SSE and a short 12-second period, but the wind is cross-on from the east and it’s just not doing us any favours. We’ll see some small ripples, but honestly, you’re better off waiting.

Monday morning the 24th is where it gets interesting. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSE, but the period jumps to 18 seconds – real groundswell energy. That means long lines, decent shape, and clean conditions with a super light cross-shore SSW breeze. Wave energy is moderate (944). It’s small but it’ll be clean and fun on a log or a mid-length. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so get out early. That’s the best looking session in the whole outlook.

Tuesday the 25th has more size – 6ft from the SSE – but the wind swings cross and picks up to 15-19 mph, so it’s going to be lumpy and chopped. Not recommended for a good time.

Wednesday the 26th is clean in the morning with a west-southwest cross-off breeze, but the swell drops to 3ft. Low energy (481), but at least you won’t be battling the wind.

Thursday the 27th morning has a risk of thunderstorms and a short, messy 6-second swell pushing 4ft from the SSW – it’s got some juice (298) but that period is grim. The wind is light cross-off though, so it might offer a few closeouts for the desperate.

After that, it’s a long dry spell. From Friday the 28th right through to Tuesday the 3rd of September, the waves stay small – mostly 2ft to 2ft – and the wind is mostly cross or onshore. Nothing really worth getting wet for.

Then on Wednesday the 2nd of September, we see a pulse of swell hit 7ft from the SE, period at 9 seconds. That’s short period, cross-on east-northeast wind at 9 mph. The energy is moderate (934), but the quality is poor – choppy and messy. That size is getting toward expert only territory, and with the wind, it’s more of a kiter’s day than a surfer’s.

Thursday the 3rd holds 4ft from the S with a nice 14-second period, but again the wind is cross and the conditions look marginal. Another one you might check if you’re keen, but nothing special.

The rest of the run into the second week stays below 4ft, onshore winds, and poor surf – no standouts. The forecast confidence drops further out, but there’s no gold at the end of this rainbow.

So, if you want my call: hit that Monday morning the 24th for clean, long-period fun on the small stuff. Otherwise, you’re mostly waiting.
