Beach and Tide Conditions
Rarotonga / Muri Beach, Cook Islands is a
Shallow, Flat and Chop spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Small size.
Tricky launch, very thin beach, 2-5 m in some places. Nice white sand. Need to stand in water for the safest launch. Coconut palms and buildings right up to waters edge. Not for a beginner.
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).
