The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Hebara (beach and reef).
Right off the bat, the water is sitting at 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a nice little bonus. The surf though? It’s a real mixed bag. For the first few days we’re looking at very small, ordinary conditions, nothing to get excited about. The best window is shaping up for Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September. We’ve got a glassy morning with the wind coming from the southeast at just 3 mph, and a clean 3 ft swell pushing in from the ESE with a period of 10 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate at 222, so there’s enough there for a fun little session on the right board. It’s consistent here, so you won’t be waiting forever, but keep in mind the crowds are sometimes around, so you might have some company.
Now, after that little window, the wind turns ugly and the swell gets bigger and messy. From Wednesday afternoon all the way through the start of the second week, it’s mostly cross and cross-on winds, with lumpy, choppy conditions. The swell sticks around, hitting over 5 ft a few times, but the quality is poor. There is a notable spike around the 6th and 7th of September, with a big jump in combined energy – we’re talking 1250 and 1358 – which is strong to very strong wave energy. That’s a big SSE groundswell with a very long period of 14 to 15 seconds. For a beach and reef setup like this, a long-period swell like that can tend to break a bit straight, but it’ll have plenty of power. Don’t even think about it unless you’re an expert, and even then, the wind is a mess.
By the 14th of September, the swell drops back under 3 ft, but the onshore wind keeps it junky. Honestly, apart from that one Wednesday morning, there’s not much to write home about for paddle surfing. For the more adventurous, a lot of those days with strong wind and decent but messy swell might be more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session.
So, to wrap it up: your one true standout is that Wednesday morning, 2nd of September. Get on it if you can. After that, it’s a long stretch of poor-to-marginal conditions right through to the end of the forecast.
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.
