Situated in Oceania, the spot offers Shallow and Flat and Chop water conditions, making it ideal for experienced riders pushing their limits.
With E–ESE–SE winds, peaking from July to September, Rarotonga / Muri Beach, Cook Islands delivers the kind of sessions that keep riders coming back year after year.
Why Riders Love It
Trade winds seem to be from July to September. Otherwise it gets sea breezes and occasional storms. I don't think it would be very reliable outside trade winds season.
When to Go
South Pacific tropical island. Tends to rain a lot in the hills but it's is always somewhere sunny on the island. No need for a wetsuit in winter but take a blanket for night-time. T-shirt and shorts in summer.
What to Expect
Clear, warm tropical lagoon. Only 200m x 200m wide really. Flat water that can get a little rough if the ocean swell makes it over the reef. Not very deep and can stand up in most places. Watch out for coral. If the wind is cross-onshore you can continue to kite around the reef for about 1/3 of the island (going South).
