The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Look, I’ll be straight with you – this is a frustrating 16-day window for Hebara. The first few days serve up a real tease, but then it falls apart. We start with a solid, clean swell on Wednesday the 5th, but it’s just too damn big. That 12ft SE swell at 15 seconds is packing a massive 5361 in combined energy, but it’s pushing right past the fun zone into expert-only territory. If you’re a seasoned charger and you’ve got the balls for a big, long-period groundswell, that Wednesday morning is your only shot. The wind is cross-shore but light enough, and the water is 81°F which is about average for this time of year. The real killer is that after Wednesday, the outlook turns grim. From Thursday the 6th right through to the end of the first week, the swell drops and the wind gets messy. We’re seeing 7ft to 5ft with cross-on winds and choppy conditions, scoring really low on the quality meter. The second week doesn’t offer much hope either. There’s a long stretch of poor surf from the 12th to the 17th, with weak, short-period windswell and strong onshore or cross winds. The combined energy drops to under 400 at times, which is just sad. A late pulse shows up on the 18th with a 4ft SSE swell carrying a very long 16-second period, but that’s accompanied by a fresh cross-shore breeze and lumpy conditions. Then on the 19th and 20th, we see another swell build to 12ft SE again, but it’s the same problem – too big for the break. The wind is better on the 20th, with a light SSW breeze, but it’s a cross-on setup. Honestly, for a beach-and-reef break like Hebara, which is exposed to the SE, this forecast is a tough one. With that much swell and poor quality, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There are no good, consistent options here. That’s the reality of it. 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.
