Went there in May of 93. Got some great waves at a certain righthand reef. Beautiful place; less touristy than most sth pac islands with friendly people and a great local drop----- Cook's Lager.

I have a good mate who works in the Cooks on a regular basis (and surfs).

His feedback is that the Cooks are more often very average than good and the place is expensive.

That said you can get fairly uncrowded waves however the quality is not the best.
