The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for our local stretch.
The next 16 days are a real mixed bag. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor to marginal surf to kick things off, with a lot of cross-onshore wind and generally messy conditions. The water temp is sitting at 81°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real sniff of anything worthwhile doesn’t show up until Sunday morning, August 2nd, at Hebara. It’s a beach and reef setup, and it’s consistent. The wind is a light cross-onshore, and we’ve got a 3 ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 14 seconds. That long period means there’s some decent energy behind it, with combined swell energy sitting at 391 (moderate). The waves will be a bit lumpy from the wind, and the swell direction is more from the south-east than the optimum SE, so it’s not going to be perfect. Still, it’s the best of a pretty average run.
The real standout, and I mean the one you’d be a fool to miss if you’re an expert, is the Tuesday and Wednesday of the second week, August 4th and 5th. The swell is going to be *huge*. Tuesday morning at Hebara is looking at an 12 ft swell from the SE with a period of 18 seconds – that’s very long-period groundswell. The combined energy is a massive 7940 (strong). The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the NE, which will keep it a bit lumpy, but manageable. But at 12 ft, this is for experienced surfers only. It gets even bigger on Wednesday morning, August 5th, with an 18 ft swell from the SE, period still 18 seconds. The energy is bonkers at 17642 (very strong). The wind is a fresh cross-offshore from the NNE, which is clean. This is a heavy, powerful, expert-only session. The swell direction is a touch south of the optimum, but with that size and period, it’ll be a show.
After that, it all falls apart again. The following days are a mess of stormy winds, building into a risk of thunderstorms, and the swell drops off fast. The 8th of August has a bit of 5 ft swell from the south, but with onshore winds, it’s a write-off.
So, the verdict: a long dry spell until the last day of July, then a couple of days of marginal, small stuff. The big one is the 4th and 5th of August – that’s the one for the experts. Don’t get your hopes up for the rest of the 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.
