Surfing - welcome to information on the surfing Rarotonga |
|||
Ok, so we are not surfing experts, but we keep getting asked about information so
this is what we know about surfing in Rarotonga... The island has a few
quite good surf spots, but surfing here is not recommended for
beginners as pretty much all the surfing is carried out at reef breaks and
quite often over shallow coral. The most reliable surf is at Ngatangiia on the east of the island where Avana passage, a small gap in the reef gives sometimes short and unreliable conditions. Opposite the passage is a smaller break which is popular for boogie boarders. If the surf isn't up at Avana, try Rutaki Passage on the south coast, Avarua passage North or off Club Raro on the north coast. It's probably best to bring your own board with you, or you'll have to find a friendly local surfer to borrow one. As far as we are aware, there are no board rentals on Rarotonga. For better information call in and see Dave at Nikki's Surf Shop on the east end of Avarua Town near Paradise Inn for more information. |

| Important - beware of currents at the passages. The current is often strong and only ever runs out of the passage. We have lost count of how many times we have retrieved tired surfers the wrong side of the reef with the dive boat so please get some local knowledge before you venture out. | |||
