Hanga Nui is a surf spot located in a beautiful bay, featuring a small harbor that helps with the typical entry and exit issues surfers might face. The area is surrounded by impressive moai statues, adding a unique touch to the experience. It's a spot that attracts surfers looking for something a bit different, but keep in mind, conditions can be inconsistent at times.

The surf at Hanga Nui offers both left and right waves that break over an uneven reef. It can handle swell sizes up to about 6ft (1.8 meters), with the best conditions typically coming from the NorthEast or South. If you’re experienced, this spot can be a great challenge for you, especially when the wind is coming from the Northwest. You can surf at different tide heights—low, mid, or high—so there’s flexibility depending on when you want to hit the water.

While Hanga Nui isn’t known to be one of the top spots, it still has its charm, especially for those who enjoy less crowded waves. The scenery of the bay and the moai makes it worth a visit, even if conditions aren’t always perfect for surfing.
