The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch to feet and Fahrenheit. Rusty here.
Water temp at Hebara is a warm 82°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first few days are a write-off. Tuesday the 8th has a 5ft S swell, but the wind is cross-on from the SSW at 20 km/h, making it choppy and poor. Wednesday the 9th gets worse with an 8ft S swell and a 40 km/h cross-shore, combined energy at 879. That’s for experts only, and the wind is a mess.
We hit a lull from Friday the 11th through Sunday the 13th. The swell drops to 2ft-2ft, with a very long period E swell of 14 seconds. That long period means the waves have energy but they’ll be fat and straight at a beach break. Combined energy is weak at 246. There’s a clean window on Friday morning with a cross-off, but it’s marginal.
The standout is Tuesday morning, September 15th. Glassy calm, a 4ft S swell with a 9-second period, combined energy of 378. It’s clean, small, and fun. The swell direction is off the optimum, but glassy conditions make it the best of the lot.
Thursday the 17th morning is also clean with a 3ft SE swell, glassy, and light winds. Small but clean.
Heading into the second week, the best bet is Monday morning, September 22nd. Light wind from the N, cross-off, with a 5ft NE swell, 7-second period, combined energy of 309. Clean, punchy, and fun. Also, Monday afternoon, September 21st looks good with a 5ft NE swell and a 15 km/h cross-off wind.
Crowds are possible at this consistent spot, so get there early. The best windows are the 15th and the 21st/22nd.
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.
