SIMPLE GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS & SURFERSHow waves, wind, and tides work at Waikiki Canoes & Queens · Honolulu
1. AVERAGE SIZE & BIGGER SETS
0.2m (Sets up to 0.3m)
Every 5 to 10 minutes, a group of larger waves ("sets") arrives reaching 0.3m. Always judge the spot by the set size before paddling out.
2. TIME BETWEEN WAVES (SECONDS)
Best from 13 seconds up
Under 8s means weak, messy wind waves. Above 13s means clean ocean groundswell with long walls and much more push.
3. BEST TIDE HEIGHT
0.2m a 0.8m (Works on all tides — mid-to-high tide gives the longest, gentlest rides)
Between 0.2m and 0.8m the wave peels best. Too high tide causes backwash off the rocks/wall.
4. ENTERING & EXITING THE WATER
Safe tide: 0.2m – 0.8m
