The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for the Himalayas.
To be honest, mate, this is a pretty flat run. We’re looking at a 16-day window where the surf just never really gets its act together. The swell is tiny – you’re talking knee-high dribble at best – and while the wind is mostly clean or cross-offshore, it doesn’t matter when there’s no power behind it. The combined wave energy stays weak, hovering between 8 and 113, which is barely a ripple. There’s no standout session anywhere in this forecast; it’s all a bit of a bust. The water temp is sitting at 80°F which is basically average for this time of year.
Let’s run through it. Sunday the 16th through the week of the 19th is all 0.7ft to 2ft mush. Clean conditions on the 21st morning with glassy winds, but the swell is only 0.7ft from the west with a period of 10 seconds – that’s just not enough to push anything. The morning of the 19th offers the highest energy reading of 113 with a 2ft NE swell, but it’s short period (7 seconds) and the wave comment is poor.
Even through the second half of the month, into the 30th and 31st, it’s the same story: tiny 1ft leftovers. The period stretches out to 15 seconds on the 31st morning, which sounds good, but the height is too small to make use of that long-period groundswell. A long-period swell on a reef break like this can be nice when there’s size, but without it, it’s a non-event.
Honestly, for a break that’s consistent and exposed, this is a dud. There is no best day to call out. If you’re hanging for a paddle, the 19th morning is the most energetic, but that’s not saying much. The rest is a flat spell that I’d rather skip.
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.
