Hebara Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright mate, Rusty again. Let’s run through it for Hebara, but in feet and miles per hour.

We kick off with a flat and messy window. Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th have tiny 2-3ft easterly windswell, but the wind is messy – cross and cross-onshore around 9-12 mph. It’s choppy, not worth getting wet.

There’s a big dead spell, then on Thursday the 17th it jumps to 8ft from the NE, but the period is a short 7 seconds. Wind is a strong 25 mph cross-offshore. Clean but raw and gutless for a paddle board. Better for a kite.

Friday the 18th stays similar: 8ft from the ENE, period creeping up to 9 seconds, but still blowing 25 mph. Clean again, but it’s a blown-out, lumpy mess for surfing.

Here’s the real deal: Saturday the 19th morning. We’ve got 8ft of swell from the SE, with a long 13-second groundswell period. Combined energy is pumping at 2615 (strong). The wind is cross-offshore at 22 mph, keeping the surface smooth. This is a big, powerful wave – over 8ft, so expert only. But the quality of the swell, the direction lining up perfectly with the break, and the clean wind make it the standout session of the whole outlook.

Sunday the 20th still holds 8ft from the SE, 11-12 seconds, cross-off winds. Still good, but Saturday is the peak.

Monday the 21st shifts to a south swell, dropping to 6-7ft, but with a 13-second period. Cross-off winds in the morning promise clean, lined-up walls. Tuesday the 22nd is another massive day: 10ft from the south, 14-second period, energy hitting 3349. Gentle cross winds in the morning keep it clean, but that’s a beast – only for the very skilled. The afternoon pushes 15ft, which is just too much for this break.

After that, swell drops. Wednesday the 23rd brings 7ft in the morning but with a near gale (31 mph) cross wind – ugly. The afternoon cleans up with gentle cross-offshore winds and 5ft, offering a brief window of decent surf.

From the 24th to the 30th, it’s mostly small, weak windswell. The one nice moment is Sunday the 27th morning: glassy conditions, 3ft of SSE swell with a 12-second period. It’s tiny, but the water will be like glass – perfect for a longboard or a small-wave grovel board. Energy sits at 388 (moderate).

Water temp is 78°F, about average for the time of year.

So the top pick is Saturday the 19th morning: 8ft SE groundswell, 13-second period, energy 2615, and clean cross-off winds. Expert only, but a proper session for those who can handle it. Second shout is Tuesday the 22nd morning for the big-wave chargers: 10ft, 14-second period, energy 3349, but it’s a serious commitment.

Rusty.
