Hebara Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. This forecast is a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a few windows where it'll fire. We've got a solid run of easterly energy, but the wind is going to be the deciding factor most days. Water temp is right around 81°, which is normal for this time of year.

The first real chance to get wet is Monday afternoon, the 10th. There's a 8ft east swell rolling in, but the northeast breeze is fresh and cross, so it's going to be lumpy – more of a wrestle than a glide. The energy is strong, with a combined swell energy of 1631, but the conditions are just marginal. You'd be surfing it for the size, not the quality.

Tuesday the 11th shapes up better. The morning still has a bit of size, 7ft, but the wind swings north and drops to a cross-off, cleaning it right up. That's your first proper window. The energy is still pumping at 1983. By the afternoon, the swell drops a touch to 6ft, but the wind goes light westerly and it stays clean. The period stretches out to 12 seconds, which brings some proper push. This afternoon is easily the best call of the first few days.

Wednesday the 12th is a write-off. The swell drops to 4ft, the wind goes onshore from the southeast, and the energy just collapses to 348. Don't bother.

Thursday the 13th is small and messy, with a risk of storms. The swell is around 5ft, but the cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions keep the quality down. Not great.

Friday the 14th morning is a small window. The swell is 5ft, but the wind is a cross-off from the north-northeast, which makes it clean. The energy is moderate at 512. It's not big, but it'll be the cleanest surf you'll find for a few days.

The weekend, the 15th and 16th, is where it gets tricky. Saturday the 15th has some size, 5ft to 6ft, but the cross-shore winds are moderate to fresh, and it's just choppy and poor. The energy does build to 754 on Saturday afternoon, but the wind kills it. Sunday the 16th is a different story. The swell jumps back up to 8ft with a strong energy reading of 2092. The wind is a fresh cross-off from the north. It's going to be big, powerful, and clean-ish, but at 8ft, it's pushing into expert territory. The period is 10 seconds, so it'll be a bit more walled-up. This is the standout for size and power, but you need to know what you're doing.

Monday the 17th keeps the energy going with 7ft to 7ft swells and a fresh cross-off wind. It's still solid, but the quality is rated as marginal. The energy is still over 1000, so there's plenty of push. It's a good follow-up to Sunday, but the conditions won't be as clean.

After that, it fades. From Tuesday the 18th onwards, the bottom falls out. The swell drops below 4ft, the winds go onshore or variable, and the energy readings drop to the low hundreds. The 20th, 21st, and 22nd are all small and poor. There's a slight bump on the 23rd with 3ft, but it's still not worth the paddle.

The long-range stuff, late in the second week, is looking pretty flat. There's a faint pulse around the 24th and 25th, but it's small and onshore. Nothing to get excited about.

So, to sum it up: your best bets are Tuesday afternoon the 11th for a clean, fun-sized wave, and Sunday the 16th for the big, powerful stuff. The rest is filler. Keep an eye on that Sunday forecast – it could be a proper session if the wind holds.
