The Lowdown
Alright, let's get this straight. The only spot firing up in the forecast is Hebara, but honestly, it's a tough run. The water temp is sitting right around 78°, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year.
Right now, through the first few days, it’s all cross-onshore winds and choppy, messy surf. The swell is small, around 3 ft from the ESE, with a weak energy level (149). It’s not worth paddling out for. This poor stretch carries through the weekend. Saturday and Sunday morning have some small 3 ft to 4 ft swell, but it’s onshore and choppy. The energy is bumping up a bit Sunday morning to 276, but the wind is still junk.
We get a slight glimmer of hope on Tuesday morning, the 21st of July. The swell is 4 ft from the East, with a period of 10 seconds, and the energy is up to 317, but it’s still cross-onshore and only called marginal. Not a standout.
The best real chance comes on Friday, the 24th of July, in the morning. The wind is completely glassy (0 km/h), and the swell is 3 ft from the East with a 9-second period. The energy is moderate at 229, and the conditions are labelled as "good." This is your window. It’s a clean, small day for a beginner-friendly spot, which is perfect for Hebara. It’s a beach and reef setup, consistent, and exposed to the ESE swell. Crowds are possible here sometimes.
The end of the month, around the 27th and 28th, sees some bigger swell push through, with 4 ft to 5 ft from the SSE and S, and energy levels climbing into the 500-700 range. The problem is the wind stays cross or cross-shore, and the conditions are only marginal. The period gets long on the 27th, up to 14 seconds, which can make for a bit of a straight wall at a beach break, but it’s still not clean enough to get excited about. The 28th has a light wind and cross conditions, but the swell is 5 ft from the South with a 12-second period (energy 657), which is a solid option for stronger surfers, just not clean.
Honestly, the only day to really plan around is that Friday morning, the 24th. Glassy conditions, small fun waves, and a chance to have it to yourself if you’re early. The rest is a grind of onshore junk.

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.
