The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Hebara. This forecast is a bit of a slow burner, but there’s a flicker of hope way out in the second week.
First up, the water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 80°, so no surprises there for the time of year.
The next few days are a write-off, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. From Friday the 14th right through most of the following week, it’s a rough run of poor surf. We’ve got a moderate combined swell energy (588) to start, but it’s all cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. The swell is weak and messy, so don’t even bother. This stretch of flat, blown-out junk lasts a solid nine days.
Then, we see a glimmer on Monday the 24th. The swell picks up a bit, but the reports are only calling it marginal. The real standout starts to build on Tuesday the 25th. The morning session at Hebara looks like the best bet of the whole outlook. We’re looking at a solid 6ft of swell coming from the SE, with a long period of 13 seconds. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNE, which is a major positive. The combined energy is strong (1084), so there’s some proper grunt in the water. This is a groundswell, so expect some nice lines, but with that period, it might be a bit too straight for a beach break. Still, that’s the one to aim for.
The swell keeps building, hitting 8ft on Wednesday the 26th with a long period, but the wind turns onshore and the quality drops. That’s expert territory only, and the conditions are messy. The rest of the outlook fades back into poor conditions with lumpy winds.
So, for the best on offer, it’s Tuesday the 25th morning. The waves have size, the period is long, and the wind is clean. Don’t hold your breath for the rest 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.
