The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch of the calendar is a tough one for the Himalayas. We’re looking at a long, long dry spell where the surf just isn’t showing up. For the first several days, from Wednesday the 22nd right through to the end of the month, the ocean is basically flat. The energy readings are a big fat zero (0) for most of that time, and even when we see a tiny bump of 0.7ft, the period is short and the wind is in the wrong place. It’s a frustrating start.
We finally get a pulse of life on Monday the 27th of July in the afternoon. A 5ft swell from the NE pushes through with a combined energy of 261 (moderate), but the period is a short 7 seconds, and the cross-off wind keeps it questionable. It’s not something to get excited about.
The best chance we get in this whole 16-day window is on Tuesday the 28th of July. The morning brings a 3ft swell from the NNE with a 9-second period, and the wind is cross. The combined energy reads 161 (moderate). The afternoon picks up a little to 4ft from the NE (231 energy), but it’s still a cross wind. This is as good as it gets, but it’s marginal. The water temperature is about 79°, which is pretty normal for the time of year.
After that, the pulse fades. Wednesday the 29th has a 4ft swell from the NNE, but the period drops to 6 seconds, and the wind swings cross-on, making it choppy. By Thursday the 30th, we’re back to tiny 1.0ft leftover energy from the SW with a very long 18-second period – that’s pure groundswell, but there’s hardly any size (49 energy). It’s too small to work.
The rest of the run into the first week of August is a dead zone. Tiny 1.0ft to 2ft swells from the N and W, mostly with short periods, and the wind is moderate to fresh. It’s just not happening. For a spot that’s a consistent reef break, this is a real downer. The cross-off winds are steady, but without any proper swell, there’s nothing to ride. Given the poor quality and persistent wind, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
Hang in there, but don’t hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.
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.
