Conditions not favorable for surfing.
Queens is the jewel of Waikiki, delivering a long right-hand reef wave with occasional lefts that are faster and more powerful than neighboring Canoes. The break sits in front of the Royal Hawaiian and sets up clean walls during summer south swells, making it a favorite for longboarders and surf contests. Proper etiquette is essential because the lineup can be territorial and extremely crowded.
Queue up at the takeoff spot and wait your turn; avoid dropping in on local longboarders.
Insider tips from local surfers
Position yourself slightly inside to catch the long rights; be patient for sets and watch for quick takeoffs on the faster lefts.
