BEST SURF SPOTS IN COOK ISLANDS

Motutapu - Avana, Cook Islands Motutapu features powerful right-hand reef breaks over sharp coral rocks, making it suitable for experienced surfers. The spot is accessible via a short walk (less than 5 minutes) and is reachable by boat. It works best at high tide, attracting few surfers during the week but becoming crowded on weekends. Located near Muri Beach, Avana offers a convenient surf experience for visitors. The break is relatively short, requiring patience to catch the right waves. While it is popular, the waves can be inconsistent and less demanding, posing risks for beginners due to the sharp reef. Just across the passage, a smaller right-hand wave caters to bodyboarders, providing an alternative for those seeking variety. Overall, while Avana has its charm, it may not deliver the excitement found at more consistent surf spots.
