The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. Look, I'm not gonna sugar-coat it: the next couple weeks are a tough watch for anyone wanting to get a proper wave. There's a whole lot of tiny, weak junk surf from now through about the 20th of August. Don't bother. Not a single good session in sight.
The first bit of meaningful size appears on Friday, August 21st. A new NNE swell will push in around 3 ft, but it's got a short, weak 6-second period. That's pure windswell – no real grunt or shape to it. The combined wave energy is only 69 (weak). The east breeze will be light and cross-off, keeping the surface okay, but the waves themselves are gonna be crumbly and disappointing.
The only real standout – and the one time you might want to make the effort – is Monday, August 24th. The swell is still tiny at about 1 ft, but the wind goes completely dead from the SSE. We're talking glassy conditions, like a lake. The surface will be perfect. The combined energy is still low at 18, so the waves are tiny, but they'll be clean as a whistle.
After that, it's back to nothing. A tiny 0.3 ft NW pulse on Thursday the 27th with a 10-second period, but a cross-off breeze at 15 mph ruins even that.
Himalayas (Nepal) is a reef break that's usually consistent, but this forecast is a total washout. The swell never gets above 1 ft for the entire 16 days, and it's all marked as "poor surf conditions." For a spot that's normally reliable, this flat spell is a real downer. If the wind picks up and the waves stay this weak and messy, this setup might be more fun for a kite than a surfboard. Leave the stick at home and check back later.
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.
