The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it. The next couple weeks at Hebara are looking pretty bleak, to be honest. We’ve got a long dry spell before anything even starts to resemble a surfable wave. For the first few days, from September 14th right through, conditions are a write-off. We’re talking small, cross-shore slop, some rain in the mix and just a whole lot of nothing.
Finally, towards the end of this week, we start to see some potential. The standout moment across the whole forecast is the afternoon of Saturday, September 20th. This is the only time in the whole 16-day window where things line up. The morning will still be marginal with a brisk offshore wind, but by Saturday afternoon, the wind drops to nothing. We are talking glassy conditions, which is a huge positive for getting clean waves. The swell will be a solid 10ft from the southeast, and combined wave energy is a massive 2882 (moderate to strong energy), so this is for experienced surfers only—beginners, stay well clear. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, and the swell direction is a solid match for the optimum SE direction. The water temp is sitting at 78°, which is pretty average for the time of year.
Sunday, September 21st morning will still have some size—10ft from the SE—but a moderate offshore wind from the north will keep things clean. This is another good window for the crew that can handle it, but it won’t top that glassy Saturday afternoon.
After that, things get a bit messy again. September 22nd sees a huge 18ft swell from the SSE, which is way too big for this break, making it a no-go for paddling. The rest of the run into the end of the month is a mix of cross-shore winds and small, weak swell, with just a few brief moments of clean conditions, but nothing that’s going to get you out of bed. There’s a gap of about four days with no real recommendations after that big weekend session. The final day of the forecast, September 29th, is back to small, poor waves with a strong breeze. Keep your eyes on the charts, things can change, but for now, target the 20th and 21st of September.
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.
