The Lowdown
Alright, let's get this sorted.
First up, we’re looking at a pretty frustrating run of surf here at Hebara. The water’s sitting at a nice warm 79°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit, but for the next week or so, you’ll be wanting something else to do.
It’s a bleak start. Thursday the 3rd kicks off with a weak 2ft easterly swell carrying a heavy cross-shore wind and the threat of thunderstorms—total washout. We’ve got a similar story all the way through the weekend and into the start of next week. The swell energy stays low to moderate (252 to 971 in the energy readings) but the wind is just all wrong, mostly howling from the NE at 25 mph on Sunday. That’s a strong cross-shore mess. The waves do start to build and by Tuesday the 8th we’ve got a solid 12ft to 13ft southerly swell rolling in. The energy reading jumps right up to 6273, which is strong, but it’s just too much juice for a beginner spot like this. The wind is still cross or cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy and chaotic. If you’re an expert and you’ve got a big board and a death wish, maybe, but for most of us, that Tuesday afternoon is a washout—the forecast even says it’s too big for the break. That afternoon is the only time the surf report actually mentions the conditions being favorable tide-wise, but the swell size is the killer.
Honestly, the first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Friday the 11th. We’ve got a clean, 4ft southerly swell in the afternoon with a light cross-offshore breeze, just 3 mph from the WSW. That’s the kind of clean, surfable window you wait for. The energy is a modest 334, but it’s rideable for a beginner. The next standout is Monday the 14th. There’s a 4ft swell from the SE, and in the afternoon it goes glassy—dead calm. That’s a rare gem in this forecast, and if you can get out then, you’ll have some fun, clean little rollers.
Looking further out, Thursday the 17th morning has a really promising setup: a 5ft southerly swell with an 11-second period (longer period, good energy at 602), and it’s glassy. That’s the pick of the whole 16-day window, no question. Clean conditions and a bit of push. The crowd situation at Hebara is *sometimes* busy, so you might have a few mates out, but with a window like that, it’s worth it.
Aside from these few pockets, it’s a long, dry gap. The rest of the second week is a mix of marginal conditions or poor wind. You’ll be picking your moments very carefully.

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.
