Right, let's have a look at what’s on the cards for the coming days. The opening week is a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a proper run of quality surf from the middle of the week onward that you’ll want to circle. The water is sitting at 72°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a decent spring suit or a warmer long john.

The first real standout is Ohara on Wednesday afternoon, July 8th. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell rolling in from the SSE, with a long 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell, packing a punch and giving you some proper shaped waves. The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping things clean. The combined energy is a strong 2,293. This is definitely one for the experienced crew – that size isn’t for the faint-hearted.

Thursday, July 9th, is another cracker. Both morning and afternoon are looking good. The morning has a 6ft swell from the SSE with a 14-second period, and it’s glassy with a light offshore wind. The afternoon is similar, with a gentle offshore breeze and clean conditions. The combined energy is strong at 1,546 and 1,782. This is the best combination of size and clean conditions for the average surfer who’s comfortable in overhead waves.

Friday, July 10th, through to Saturday, July 11th, keeps the quality going. You’re looking at consistent 7ft to 7ft swell from the south, with a long 16-second period. The wind stays offshore, making for clean, powerful waves. The combined energy is very strong, peaking at 2,408 on Friday afternoon. Again, this is expert territory due to the size, but if you’ve got the skill, it’s going to be epic.

After that, the swell drops off quickly. Sunday, July 12th, drops to 5ft and the combined energy weakens to 888. The wind is still cross-offshore, but it’s a lot smaller. From Monday, July 13th, through to Thursday, July 16th, it’s pretty poor. Swell drops to 2ft to 4ft, and the wind is strong and onshore or cross-offshore. The combined energy is weak, under 300. This is a quiet spell for the paddle surfers, but that kind of wind and chop might be interesting for the kite surfers.

There’s a glimmer of hope on Friday, July 17th, with a slight increase to 4ft and light offshore winds, but the energy is still weak. The real pulse returns on Sunday, July 19th, with a 5ft swell from the east, a light offshore wind, and a combined energy of 532. Monday, July 20th, sees a 6ft swell from the ENE, but it’s a bit messy.

Then, the second standout for the entire window is Tuesday, July 21st, in the morning. The swell is 7ft from the NE, but the period is a short 8 seconds. That’s a bit of a catch – it’ll be powerful but probably a bit lumpy. What makes it special is the glassy conditions, with zero wind. The combined energy is a strong 1,061. It’s rare to get glass like that on a 7ft day, so be ready for it, but the short period means it’s better for a spot that can handle that kind of swell.

Finally, Wednesday, July 22nd, is a decent finish. The morning has a 5ft swell from the south with a 13-second period and glassy conditions. The combined energy is a strong 1,796. The afternoon picks up to 8ft from the ESE, with a light offshore wind and clean conditions. That’s a big one, but the period drops to 10 seconds, so it’s not as clean as the morning. Crowds are possible at Ohara, as it can get busy, so keep that in mind.

Information about the Ohara Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Ohara provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ohara can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ohara 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 (Ohara) 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 Ohara 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.

Ohara is 2 km (1 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.
