Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming our way.
Well, it’s not the most inspiring run for Hebara right now. There’s a bit of a wait, and the early part of the forecast is a real grind. The surf picks up only in a limited way across the first week, with the real potential being held off until the very end of the outlook.
We start Tuesday the 7th with some modest 4.6ft southeast swell rolling in, but a 12 mph cross-shore breeze from the northeast is going to chop it up pretty good. The water’s sitting at 72.3°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so a steamer wouldn't go astray. Combined energy is moderate (921), but the conditions are just too messy to get excited about.
Wednesday the 8th sees the swell bump up to 7.2ft from the southeast with a solid 16-second period. That’s a groundswell, and it’s packing moderate to strong energy (2473). The problem is the wind is still cross-onshore from the east-northeast, though only 6 mph so it's light. It’s still going to be bumpy, and for a beach-and-reef setup, a long period SE swell like this won't be the most user-friendly. The forecast scores are low, so it’s more of a session for the diehards. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are similar stories—decent 5.2ft to 7.2ft swell from the south and southeast, but the cross-on wind ruins the party.
From Saturday the 11th through to Saturday the 18th, things go downhill fast. The combined energy drops into the hundreds, swell heights shrink to under 3.3ft for most of that stretch, and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore. There’s a long gap here with no real surf on offer, just a lot of blown-out nothing.
Sunday the 19th on the 20th, we get a flicker of hope. A new S swell builds to 7.5ft on Sunday morning, with strong energy of 3196. Light winds keep the surface from being too terrible, but it's still cross-onshore. By Monday the 20th, the swell peaks at a solid 9.8ft from the east with very strong energy (3879). This is big—over 8.2ft—so it’s expert territory only. The wind is light from the south-southwest, so there might be some windows, but with a short 10-second period and east direction, it could be a bit raw and straight at this break. The best bet in the whole outlook is probably Wednesday the 16th of July. You get a 4.9ft swell from the east-southeast with light cross-shore winds, making for a cleaner surface. The combined energy is 531, which is moderate, and with the light breeze, it’s about as good as it gets before the big stuff hits. For a beginner spot like Hebara, that 4.9ft on a clean morning is your session.
For the standout, I’m pointing to Wednesday morning, July 16th at Hebara. The swell is a manageable 4.9ft from the ESE, with light 6 mph cross-shore winds from the SSW. It's the only time in the whole run where the conditions actually come together for a decent, clean paddle. After that, it's a long wait until the big, expert-only groundswell arrives on the 19th and 20th, which is still promising but less certain this far out.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on that mid-week window.

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.
