The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Hebera over the next couple of weeks. Straight up – it’s a rough stretch. We’ve got a big gap at the start with absolutely nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for, and even when the waves show up, the wind is gonna be a battle right through. But let’s walk through it.
The first proper surf recommendation doesn’t roll in until Monday morning, the 8th of September, so we’re looking at a few days of flat and messy conditions before that. Tuesday the 9th carries a bit more size, but again, the wind is all over the shop.
By Thursday the 11th, we finally get a window where it’s clean. Early morning on the 11th, Hebera’s getting a 5ft swell from the ENE (period 7 seconds) with a cross-offshore breeze (15 mph) – that means clean faces. But the wave energy is still only moderate (370), and the period’s pretty short, so the shape won’t be anything special. It’s surfable but nothin’ to write home about. If you’re keen, that Thursday morning is your best bet early on.
The real standout, though, is Wednesday morning, the 17th of September. It’s a little further out, so keep an eye on the forecast, but conditions are lookin’ promising. Hebera’s a beach and reef setup, and while the swell is tiny at 2ft from the east (period 12 seconds), the wind is light and cross-offshore (9 mph out of the NNE) – that’s glassy clean. Combined wave energy is weak (137), but with that long period groundswell, you’ll get some nice, lined-up waves on the reef. It’s a beginner-friendly break and consistent, so if the swell fills in even a little, this could be a proper little session. Just know it’s a rare gem in an otherwise bleak outlook.
Other than that, the rest of the 16 days is either blown out, too small, or just plain messy. There’s a stretch from the 13th to the 20th where most sessions are marked poor – lots of cross-shore junk and low energy.
One last thing: the water temp is sitting around 82°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year – nothing extreme, just a little balmy for September.
Rusty out.

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.
