The Lowdown
Alright, mates, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta level with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing but tiny, weak surf ahead, so if you’re itching for a wave, you might want to book a flight or take up fishing.
The good news? The water at Himalayas is a warm 80°, which is pretty much spot-on average for this time of year. So if you do get in, it’s for a swim, not a session.
We’re looking at a solid run of poor surf from this Sunday the 9th all the way through to the 20th of August. Swell heights are stuck between 0.7ft and 1ft, with combined wave energies barely registering – mostly in the single and double digits. It’s a total flat spell. The winds are mostly cross-off from the ENE, which keeps the surface clean, but there’s just nothing underneath it. A few days even drop to 0.3ft, which is basically a lake.
The only glimmer of hope in this entire 16-day window looks like it arrives on Friday the 21st of August. We finally see a pulse of south-west swell coming through, pushing the waves up to a marginal 2ft. The period jumps up to 17 seconds, which is a proper groundswell, and the energy jumps to 176 – a massive leap from what we’ve seen. It’s still small, but it’s clean with a light E wind, making it the one true standout, and even then, it’s pretty ordinary. If you’re desperate, that's your window.
After that, it looks like it fades right back out to nothing for the following weekend.
So, to sum it up: you’re looking at about 11 days of dead flat. The spot is a consistent reef break, but it’s exposed to the NW and we’re just not seeing the swell. It’s a waiting game, but forecasts can change. I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything epic.
Rusty out.

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.
