The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Hebara for the next couple of weeks.
The outlook starts with a bit of a struggle, to be honest. The first week or so is pretty grim, with small, messy waves and crummy conditions. We’ve got a long gap of poor surf from the start until the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July. That’s about three days of not much to get excited about. The combined wave energy is weak, barely cracking a couple of hundred (224) for the biggest of those early days, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, chopping everything up.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Wednesday morning, July 29th. We get a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the NNE and a bit of a bump in swell to 4 ft from the NE. The energy picks up a little (257), and the conditions are clean. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only decent-looking window in the first week. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Then it gets quiet again. Thursday the 30th has a glassy morning, but the swell is tiny at 2 ft, and after that, we’re back to small, choppy junk for days. The weekend of the 1st and 2nd of August is a write-off.
Now, the real story here is the second week. A massive swell is forecast to roll in, starting around Monday, August 3rd. By Monday morning, we’re looking at 5 ft from the SE with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the wave energy jumps into the strong range (1195). This is a serious groundswell. The problem is, the wind is cross-shore, and the conditions are described as “marginal” for the break. For Tuesday, August 4th, the swell builds to 8 ft from the SE, with a 16-second period, and morning brings a clean, cross-offshore breeze. The energy is intense (3260). This is getting big – expert territory, but the morning is clean.
And then, from Wednesday, August 5th right through Sunday, August 9th, the swell goes absolutely nuclear. We’re talking 12 ft to 23 ft of SE groundswell, with periods of 17 seconds and wave energy hitting staggeringly high values (7441 all the way up to 36074). The forecast is clear: the wind and tide are favorable, but the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. This is not a paddle-surfing situation; it’s a big-wave tow-in or just a show for the brave. On the Wednesday morning (August 5th), with 12 ft, offshore winds, and clean conditions, that is the one true standout. If you’re a seasoned charger and you know Hebara can handle the size, that morning is the best on offer. But for the average surfer, the whole second week is a write-off due to sheer size. The beach-and-reef setup with that much energy and a very long period SE swell will be heaving, and it’s more likely to be a kite-surfing show than a paddle session for most.
The final day of the forecast, Monday, August 10th, sees the swell drop back to 4 ft, but the energy is still moderate (1036) and the wind is onshore, so it’s marginal again.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a fight for scraps. The only stand-out window for a clean, safe paddle is Wednesday morning, July 29th, but it’s small. The true highlight is Wednesday morning, August 5th, for expert surfers only, with a massive, clean, long-period groundswell coming from the SE. The rest of that second week is just too big for this spot.

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.
