Conditions not favorable for surfing.
Canoes, located off Waikiki in Honolulu, is a gentle reef break over a sandy bottom that produces long, mellow rides ideal for beginners and longboarders. The wave has a welcoming vibe with beach-boy surf lessons and outrigger canoes sharing the lineup, though it can be crowded in summer. The break works best on a south swell and a light northerly wind, delivering fun walls for surfers of all ages.
Respect surf instructors and tourists learning to surf; share waves generously and yield to outrigger canoes passing through.
Insider tips from local surfers
Sit wide to avoid the canoe traffic and pick the bigger outside sets; the wave is slow, so angle your takeoff and trim down the line.
