Hebara Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Hebara’s got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but there are a few moments that might just get the heart racing.

Right off the bat, nothing to get too excited about. The first few days are pretty ordinary, with small waves and messy winds. The real action doesn't start to build until we get towards the end of the second week. The standout period looks to be the morning of Wednesday the 22nd, where we see a solid 7ft swell rolling in from the east with a very long period of 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, folks, and with light cross-offshore winds from the north-northeast, it’ll be clean. The combined swell energy is strong, sitting at 1184. This is a setup that favours the point and reef setups at Hebara, as that long period can make beach breaks a bit straight. For the experienced crew, this is the one to circle.

Before that, Tuesday the 21st morning also has some punch, with 6ft from the east-northeast, a period of 10 seconds, and a fresh cross-off breeze making for a glassy surface. The energy is proper strong at 1575, but the commentary calls it marginal, so perhaps the tide might be a factor. Still, it’s a far cry from the small stuff we’ve been looking at.

After that spike, things drop off quickly. Thursday the 23rd morning has a cleaner 4ft east swell with light winds, but the energy is a lot weaker at 388. The rest of that week and into the weekend looks small and choppy again, with cross-onshore winds and weak energy values. There is a little pulse right at the very end of the outlook. Monday morning the 27th of July sees a 4ft south swell, with a period of 11 seconds and glassy conditions. The energy is moderate at 355, and it looks clean, so it could be a sneaky fun session for a longboard if you’re patient.

The water temperature is sitting around 76°F, which is about 0.9°F below the long-term average for this time of year. Nothing unusual there, just normal tropical warmth.

To be honest, the first week and a half is a write-off. From the 13th through to the 20th, there’s a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The waves are small, the wind is messy, and the quality is poor. Don’t bother. Hang onto your energy for the 21st and 22nd, because that’s where the real juice is. It’s not a classic clean run, but for Hebara, a couple of proper days in the offering is something to be optimistic about.

Keep an eye on that Wednesday morning. It could be a real treat.

Rusty.
