The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' over the next couple of weeks for this spot.
First thing you gotta know – it's a grim stretch ahead. The Himalayas (a reef setup) are looking at a long, dry spell. From now and well into the end of September, we're talking over a week straight where the surf just isn't happening. There are days on end with no recommendations at all. A whole lot of nothing. The water temperature is sitting at a very typical 81°, so no surprises there for the time of year.
Now, there is a little glimmer of hope, but it's a long way off. The standout session, if you can call it that, looks like Tuesday the 25th of September. We've got a pulse of swell from the NNW pushing in around 3ft. The combined swell energy hits a moderate 280, which is the most life we'll see in the water all fortnight. The period is a short 11 seconds, so it's not a proper groundswell, just a bit of a bump. The wind will be a cross-off from the NE at 12 mph, keeping things reasonably clean. But honestly, the 'poor surf conditions' tag is the headline here – the break is exposed to the NW, and the swell direction is NNW, which is a bit of a mismatch. It's a last-resort sort of day.
A slightly bigger pulse shows up on Sunday the 27th with swell hitting 5ft from the N, with combined energy up to 379. The period is a short 10 seconds though, and the wind is cross-on from the NNW at just 6 mph. That light wind is a small mercy, but the cross-on angle will mess with the shape. Again, the forecast calls it poor. For a reef break, that cross-on wind is a real problem.
Honestly, for a reef that needs the right direction, this whole run is a write-off. It's one of those blank runs that happens. Forecasts can change, but right now, don't hold your breath.
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.
