The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days at Hebara are a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long run of poor surf conditions, with only a couple of mornings that might be worth a paddle if you're desperate for a splash.
The water temp is sitting at 77°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The first week is a write-off. From Tuesday the 14th through to the end of that week, the swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the wind is constantly cross or cross-onshore, making things choppy and messy. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate at best, never breaking into anything decent. You’re looking at a lot of closeouts and wind bumps.
We finally see a glimmer on Sunday the 19th morning. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the East, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind turns light cross-shore from the NE. It’s still marginal, the combined energy is only 205 (moderate), but it’s the cleanest window in an otherwise bleak stretch. This is a spot where the crowds are sometimes around, so you might have some company. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best of a bad bunch.
The second week is more of the same. The swell stays small, mostly 3ft to 4ft, but the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore for most of it. The 23rd of July Thursday morning has a 4ft swell from the East (period 10s) and a light cross-onshore breeze from the S, but it’s still going to be choppy. The combined energy hits 324 (moderate), but the conditions won’t be clean.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is on the 27th of July Monday afternoon. The swell jumps to 3ft from the SE, but the period is a solid 13 seconds – that’s long-period groundswell energy. The combined energy spikes to 327 (moderate). The wind is onshore from the SSE though, so it won’t be glassy. For a beach and reef setup like Hebara, a long period like that can make the waves break a bit too straight, but it’ll at least have some push.
Honestly, this is a brutal outlook. Nothing is firing. If you’ve got a kite, the constant onshore winds and small chop might be more your speed than a surfboard. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
