Avaavaroa Passage is a surf spot located opposite the Palm Grove Resort. It’s known for its thick and powerful waves that cater to experienced surfers. This spot can be tricky, and it’s not for beginners, as it requires a good amount of skill and familiarity with challenging conditions. The location can offer a unique experience for those who know what they're doing in the water.

The surf here is best with moderate SouthWest swells. In terms of height, it handles swells around 4 feet (1.2 meters) and can also work with SouthEast and SouthWest swells. The waves break over live coral, primarily forming strong right-handers. To catch the best waves, it’s important to consider the wind, with NorthEast winds being the most favorable. Mid to high tides work best, but be cautious as the reef can get shallow, and the channel can close out under certain conditions.

For those looking to score some good waves, timing is key. Watch the tide closely to avoid strong currents, especially as the tide drops. It’s a solid spot for determined surfers but be ready for some challenging conditions. If you're skilled enough to navigate the reef and the waves, Avaavaroa Passage can offer some decent surf sessions.
