The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you how it's lookin' over the next couple weeks.
Honestly, mate, it's a tough stretch for us here at the Himalayas. The entire 16-day window is a big fat zero on the recommendation scale. We're talkin' a full two weeks plus of poor surf conditions, so don't be holding your breath for anything rideable. When the swell is this tiny and the wind is always coming at us cross-off from the East or East-North-East, it just doesn’t set up. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.
If you look at the first week, we start Saturday the 1st with a measly 0.7 ft from the North, period a sluggish 11 seconds, and combined energy is way down at a weak 9. That's just not enough kick. The wind is a fresh 19 mph from the ENE, cross-off, which means it's not blowing straight offshore, but it's not helping the vanishingly small bumps either.
We push through the first week with the same story: Sunday the 2nd has 1.0 ft, Monday the 3rd drops to a pathetic 1.0 ft with a period of only 6 seconds, and energy down to 6. That's barely a ripple. By Thursday the 6th, the combined energy picks up a bit to 53, but the swell is still only 1.0 ft from the Southwest, period 14 seconds. It's a longer period but the height is just not there to do anything with.
Into the second week, things start to get a little more interesting in terms of energy, but stay useless for surfing. By Saturday the 15th, we've got 3 ft from the West with a period of 14 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 279. That's got some grunt in the water, but it's still labeled "poor surf conditions". The wind is a strong 19 mph from the East, cross-off, and at this reef set-up with a messy cross-off breeze and a short-period west swell, it's lookin' more like a kite-surf proposition than anything you'd want a paddle-out for. It’s just not for us.
If you’re desperate, the water temp is 80°, about normal for the time of year, so you won’t freeze, but you’ll be sitting there for nothing. Hold tight and hope the next forecast brings some proper swell with it.
Stay salty,
Rusty

Information about the Himalayas Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Himalayas provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Himalayas can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Himalayas 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 (Himalayas) 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 Himalayas 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.
Himalayas is 14 km (9 miles) from Wahiawa. If you plan a vacation in Oahu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Wahiawa. Wahiawa has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
