The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk surf for the next couple of weeks.
Starting off this Sunday afternoon, September 13, Hebara is showing some promise. It’s a consistent beach-and-reef break. The swell is small, about 2 feet from the ESE with a 13-second period – that’s a nice groundswell. The water is 79°, right where it should be for this time of year. The wind is glassy from the SE, so the surface will be smooth and clean. The combined energy is a weak 239, so don’t expect much power, but for a small, clean session, it’s a good warm-up. Crowds are only sometimes here, so you might have some company but not a packed lineup.
Monday and Tuesday, September 14 and 15, are a bust. Cross-shore winds and poor conditions. The swell stays small, and the wind is all wrong. Just skip these days.
Wednesday and Thursday, September 16 and 17, we see a little more swell, but cross-shore winds and rain keep things marginal. Not worth paddling out.
Friday, September 18, sees a big jump in energy. The afternoon brings a 6-foot swell from the SE with a very long 17-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is a strong 2460. But the wind is a fresh cross-off from the NNE, so it’s clean. However, with that long period at a beach-and-reef break, the waves might break a bit too straight. It’s still listed as marginal, so don’t get your hopes up too high. Saturday the 19th has a massive 10-foot swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and messy. Experts only, and even then, it’s iffy.
Here’s the standout: Sunday morning, September 20. We’ve got a 10-foot swell from the SE with an 11-second period. That’s big – over 8 feet, so experts only. The wind is a light cross-off from the north, keeping things clean. The combined energy is a very strong 2035. This is rated as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to mark on your calendar.
Monday, September 21, is a no-go. The wind is howling onshore from the SE at 28 to 40 mph, and the swell is huge but blown out. Dangerous and ugly.
Tuesday, September 22, is absolutely massive. The morning has an 18-foot swell from the SW, and the afternoon sees 23 feet from the SSW. The combined energy is off the charts (20989 and 23692). But the break is predicted to be too big for this spot. The wind is light, but the size is just too much. Unless you’re a big-wave charger with a jet ski, stay away.
From Wednesday, September 23 through Saturday, September 26, it’s a mix of smaller swells (4 to 6 feet) with poor to marginal conditions. The wind is either cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the periods are short (6-8 seconds). Not worth your time.
Finally, another good window opens on Sunday morning, September 27. We have a 8-foot swell from the ENE with an 8-second period. The wind is glassy from the WNW. That means clean, glassy conditions. The combined energy is a moderate-to-strong 1168. This is rated as excellent for experienced surfers. The period is short, so the waves will be a bit lumpy and close together, but with glassy wind, it’ll be fun for those who can handle the size. Monday the 28th has a similar sized swell (7 to 7 feet) from the SSE/SE with longer periods (14 seconds), but the wind is cross-shore and a bit messier.
So, to sum it up: your best bets are Sunday morning September 20 for the big, clean groundswell (experts only), and Sunday morning September 27 for a slightly smaller but glassy session (still for experienced surfers). The rest of the period is mostly poor or marginal. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations from September 21 to 26, so plan around that.
Rusty out.

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.
