The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here, breakin' down the next couple of weeks at Hebara. Gotta be honest, it ain't lookin' like a classic run, but we'll find a couple of cracks if you're keen.
Water temp is about normal for the season, nothin' wild. The big problem is the wind's got its head on wrong most of the time, and when the swell does show up, it's either messy or too meaty for the average stick.
The first week is a total washout. From Friday the 4th through Thursday the 10th, we're lookin' at a daily grind of poor surf. The wind is mostly cross-shore and fresh, with a big slug of swell buildin' from the east. By Sunday the 6th, we're seein' 8ft to 8ft of short-period slop, with combined wave energy hittin' 515 and then 970 – that's moderate to strong energy, but it's all wind-chopped and lumpy. No good for paddlin'. Monday the 7th morning actually has a clean look from the north wind, but the swell is a thumpin' 10ft with energy at 1859 – that's heavy, serious stuff, only for the hardcore crew. The afternoon does ease to 7ft with offshore wind, but the score is still marginal.
The first real standout hits Thursday the 10th in the afternoon. The wind swings light from the north-northeast, cross-offshore, and the swell drops to 5ft from the south with a 9-second period. The energy is still solid at 782 and the conditions are clean. That's your best window of the first week, but it's a short one.
Friday the 11th mornin' is another little gem. The wind goes glassy, dead still, with a smaller 4ft swell from the east-northeast. The energy is lighter at 255, but when it's like glass, you don't miss it. The sets will be a bit short-period though, so don't expect a point break peel.
After that, we hit another dry spell. From Friday afternoon through to Monday the 14th, the wind turns onshore or cross-shore again, and the swell stays small or messy. The 14th Monday mornin' brings a pulse of 5ft from the east-northeast with a long 13-second period, but the energy is a strong 1059 and the wind is cross-shore, makin' it lumpy. Not the one.
The next real chance is Thursday the 17th in the mornin'. A light west-northwest breeze, cross-offshore, and a clean 4ft easterly swell. The energy is light at 203, but the conditions are good. It's a small, clean surf day for the logs or the twins.
The last few days of the outlook are a steady fade. Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th are all cross-shore wind and droppin' swell, with Saturday's energy down to just 80 – that's weak, and the swell is comin' from the south-southwest at a short 5 seconds. Not worth paddlin' out.
So, the pick of the bunch? Thursday the 10th afternoon for the cleanest power, and Friday the 11th mornin' for the glassy, small-wave session. The rest is a fight with the wind. Forecasts can change, but for now, pick your spots.
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.
