Queen Street Surf Guide
Queen Street offers difficult lefts that jack up suddenly then wall up down the beach on big nor'easters. Once you get through the takeoff and first section, the wave becomes rippable. Queen Street doesn't show its full potential until the swell is overhead. It's also a popular longboarding spot on smaller summer days. Crowds are heavy on those days, with lots of grizzled longboarders and frantic groms. Things thin out when the surf gets serious.
