Surf: These fun, lined-up lefts need a bit of size before they’ll break hollow. Environment: Sometimes crowded, stormwater run-off, and currents at this consistent designated surfing beach. Surf: General: 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. Tides: Mid Size: Waist high-well overhead Wind: N Swell: NE to SE Bottom: Sand Paddling: Not bad, depends on the swell. Spot Rating: Depends on the sandbar but can get fun. Access: Easy, but toughest in the summer months. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Moderate to heavy in summer. Local Vibe: Mellow to moderate. Environment: Pretty clean overall. Hazards: Submerged pilings. Season: September through March
