The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, but in feet and knots.
We’re looking at Hebara, a beach and reef setup. Water temp is 83°F — a touch warmer than average.
The first real surf is Sunday afternoon, August 30th. A tiny 2ft easterly swell, 11-second period, combined energy is weak at 119. Winds are light cross-off at 5 km/h. Surfable, but nothing special.
Monday, August 31st, the swell stays 2ft, wind picks up to 20 km/h. Poor.
Tuesday, September 1st, swell bumps to 3ft from the ESE, 12-second period, energy 252. Morning winds are cross-off at 20 km/h, so it’s clean but marginal.
Wednesday, September 2nd, glassy morning with south wind at 5 km/h. Swell 3ft, 10-second period, energy 182. Small and clean.
From Thursday, September 3rd, the wind turns cross-on or cross, and the swell gets choppy. By the weekend, wind is 30–35 km/h, swell 5–6ft with a short 6–7 second period. Not good.
Sunday, September 6th, the swell jumps to 8ft from the east, 8-second period, energy 1114. Wind is strong and onshore. Messy.
The standout is Wednesday, September 9th. Swell is 13ft from the SSE, 12-second period, energy 4843. Winds are cross at 20 km/h. But it’s too big for this break — experts only.
Thursday, September 10th, is similar: 15ft from the SE, 13-second period, energy 7546. Winds cross-off at 40 km/h. Too big.
After that, it drops. Friday, September 11th, is 6ft but wind is 40 km/h. No good.
The best clean option is Sunday, September 13th. Swell is 4ft from the ENE, 10-second period, energy 496. Winds are light cross-off at 15 km/h. Clean, small, and the best of the bunch.
Crowds are possible at Hebara.
So, there you go. A lot of wind and big messy surf, with one decent morning on the 13th. Not a classic, but it’s something.
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.
