Alright folks, Rusty here. The only break on the menu for this stretch is Hebara, a beach and reef spot that's consistent and beginner-friendly, but it does see crowds.
We start off with a big flat spell. Nothing worth paddling for from the beginning all the way through to the morning of Monday, 7th July. That’s about four days of tiny, short-period windswell and messy conditions – don’t even bother.
The first proper swell shows up on Tuesday morning, 7th July. We’ve got a 6 ft swell from the southeast with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy hits 1708 (moderate to strong). But the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the northeast, putting a chop on it. It’s marginal, but it’s the first real groundswell. That period is long, so expect longer waits between sets.
Wednesday, 8th July, the swell pumps up to 8 ft from the south-southeast, still with a 16-second period, and combined energy at 3723. Wednesday morning has a light cross-onshore from the east – not glassy, but better than the rest. This is solid, meaty stuff. Might be a bit much for beginners, but intermediates and experienced surfers will find some grunty waves.
Thursday, 9th July morning – that’s the one. The swell drops to a still-chunky 7 ft from the south-southeast, 15-second period, and combined energy of 3190 (strong). But the wind goes glassy. A 5 mph offshore from the southeast. Clean, open faces. The report says excellent for experienced surfers, and I’m backing that. The water temperature is 72°, which is a bit colder than average for this time of year, so you might want a spring suit. The afternoon wind turns onshore and chops it up, so get on it early.
Friday, 10th July, the swell holds around 8 ft from the south, but the wind goes onshore by afternoon. Not a total loss, but Thursday is the crown jewel.
Saturday, 11th July, the swell eases to 7 ft, winds stay light, still rideable but the magic is fading. From Sunday, 12th July, the swell fades away, dropping under 3 ft by the middle of the following week. There’s a little bump on Wednesday, 15th July (6 ft from the south-southwest), but the wind is ripping at 25-30 mph, making it choppy and lumpy – more of a kite day than a paddle day.
So, the takeaway: Thursday, 9th July morning. That’s your golden window.
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.
