The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Alright, we’ve got one spot on the menu for the next 16 days, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The outlook starts with a bang, but then it’s a long wait for anything decent again. The first surf worth talking about kicks off on Wednesday, August 5th.
Wednesday, August 5th is the standout window. The swell is pumping in at a solid 12ft from the SE with a very long period of 15 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined swell energy is massive at 5604, so we’re talking serious power. This is expert territory; it’s way too big for beginners. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NNE, so the wave faces will be clean. The wave comment says wind and tide are favorable, but the size is the issue. For the experienced crew, Hebara is gonna be firing. Morning looks best, with a fresh breeze keeping it clean. The afternoon sees the wind swing more NE and drop to a cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit more lumpy but still very, very good.
Thursday, August 6th drops off hard. The swell drops to 8ft, and the wind goes onshore from the ESE. The energy is still moderate at 2035, but the conditions are messy. It’s a no-go.
Friday, August 7th through Tuesday, August 11th is a write-off. The swell stays around 6ft to 8ft, but the wind is consistently onshore, cross-on, or strong cross-shore, with a lot of rain shower and t-storm chances. The wave quality is poor, and the scores are bottomed out. This is a stretch of several days you’ll want to sit out.
Wednesday, August 12th to Monday, August 18th is a long, flat spell. Swell drops to 3ft or less, and the energy is weak (533 and dropping). The wind is mostly cross-offshore, so the water will be clean, but there’s just no wave to ride. The energy is so low, it’s barely moving.
Tuesday, August 19th and Wednesday, August 20th see a tiny bump back to 5ft, but the period is short (9 seconds) and the wind is onshore or cross-on. The energy is still weak, and the wave quality is poor. It’s not doing anything for us.
So, the only real call here is Wednesday morning, August 5th at Hebara. If you’re a solid expert, that’s your window. Otherwise, it’s a dry spell until the end of the forecast.
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.
