The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Hebara over the next sixteen days.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch for paddle surfing. The first real sniff of anything surfable doesn’t show up until the morning of Thursday the 20th, and even then it’s barely a whisper. Before that, we’ve got a solid week of onshore and cross-shore winds, messy conditions, and marginal surf. The wind is mostly from the northeast and east-northeast, creating a constant cross-chop, and the swell quality is poor. The combined energy is moderate at best, sitting around 432 early on, but it’s all short-period, wind-affected junk.
The only day that even gets a mention is Thursday morning, August 20th. The wind goes completely glassy (0 mph), and the water temp is a balmy 82°F with a positive anomaly of 2°F, so it’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The swell is tiny, just 2 ft from the east with a short period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 110. It’s glassy, which is a major positive for clean conditions, but the waves are barely surfable. If you’re desperate for a滑水, you could get a log out and catch some thigh-high dribblers. It’s not going to be a standout.
After that, we drift into a mix of onshore winds and tiny, weak swells for the rest of the second week. The morning of Saturday the 22nd has a clean cross-offshore breeze from the north-northeast, but the swell is only 3 ft from the south-southwest, and the energy is a low 180. It’s not enough to get excited about.
Bottom line: there’s no solid surf in this window. The one day with glassy conditions, Thursday the 20th, is just too small to be a proper session. The rest is a write-off. For the area, this kind of blank run isn’t totally unusual, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
