The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are holding for us at this spot.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a grim run for a while. We've got a massive dry spell stretching from now all the way through to the 23rd of September. Day after day, we're seeing tiny, weak swell and persistent cross-off winds. The wave energy is pitiful, barely registering in the double digits for most of that time. It's a flat spell, plain and simple. Don't bother checking the cams for a solid ten days or more.
Now, after that long wait, things start to get interesting. The standout of the entire forecast window is the 24th of September. Thursday morning sees a pulse of proper groundswell arrive. We're looking at a 3 ft swell from the NNW with a period of 12 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell that'll wrap in nicely. What really gets me going is the wind: a light offshore from the SE, only 3 mph. That's going to keep the surface glassy. The combined energy jumps to a strong 552, which tells you there's some proper power in the water. This is the one to clear your calendar for. It’s still a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it, but the setup looks promising.
The Himalayas is a reef break, and with a long-period NNW swell, it should line up perfectly. The water temp is sitting at a very warm 80°F and right on average for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in boardshorts.
Following that, the 25th of September (Friday) still has some life. The morning offers a similar 3 ft NNW groundswell with offshore winds, and by the afternoon, it goes glassy – dead calm. The energy drops a bit to a moderate 392, but it'll still be fun, clean waves. Just watch for the afternoon risk of a thunderstorm.
After that burst of action, it looks like the swell backs right off again into the 26th, so make the most of that Thursday and Friday window.
Stay patient, lads. That flat spell is a grind, but the end of it looks worth the wait.
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.
