The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s in the water for the next couple of weeks.
First up, we’ve got a sluggish start. The first real chance to paddle out comes on Saturday, the 8th of August, but it’s nothing to write home about. At Hebara, there’s a 4ft swell from the south with an 11-second period. The combined energy is moderate (622). Water temp is about 78°, which is a bit cooler than average for this time of year. The morning has a light onshore breeze from the SSE, so the surface won’t be glassy. The afternoon sees a 4ft swell from the ESE, but the wind picks up from the SE, still onshore. Pretty marginal.
Sunday the 9th brings a bump to 6ft from the ESE (13-second period), with strong energy (1131). The morning has a light cross-shore breeze from the NE, so it’ll be a little textured. The afternoon gets choppy with a cross-onshore wind. Still not a winner.
Monday the 10th is the best bet this week. We’ve got a 6ft east swell (12-second period), and the combined energy is strong (1120). The morning has a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 15 mph. That’s a big deal – the faces will be smooth. The wave height is getting into the range where it’s a bit much for beginners, but for the experienced surfer, it’s a good, solid wave. The wind goes cross and lumpy in the afternoon.
From Tuesday the 11th, it goes downhill. The wind gets gusty, the quality drops, and the conditions are poor. Wednesday the 12th is a total washout with risk of thunderstorms and onshore wind.
The second week is a mixed bag. The 13th of August (Thursday) has a 6ft east swell (11 seconds) and strong energy (1206), but the wind is cross-shore and light. The 14th (Friday) has a 8ft east swell, but the period is short at 9 seconds, and the afternoon wind is cross-onshore. That’s a big, bumpy, messy wave – only for the hardcore.
The standout window is the morning of Monday the 10th of August. That’s your session. Hebara is a consistent beach and reef break, exposed to the swell. The east swell is a little off from the optimum southeast direction, but it’ll still work. Crowds are “sometimes”, so it won’t be too packed.
After that, the 19th of August (Wednesday) morning has a 6ft east swell (8 seconds) and a cross-shore breeze, but it’s marginal. The 20th of August (Thursday) morning has a 6ft south swell (10 seconds) with a light cross-onshore breeze, but it’s clean enough.
So, the call is simple: Monday the 10th of August morning, Hebara. That’s your best shot. The rest of the 16 days is mostly poor to marginal, with a few small windows. If you’re new, stick to the smaller days. If you’re keen, get on that Monday morning.
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.
