Rendez-Vous Bay is a popular surfing spot, known for its beautiful beach and access to waves via a nearby offshore reef. This location attracts surfers looking for a fun session, with its vibes being casual and friendly. It's a place where surfers of different levels come together to catch some waves, although the overall conditions can vary.
The surf at Rendez-Vous Bay works best with southeast swells and can handle sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters). Waves can break on both the left and right over the uneven reef, providing some options for riders. During onshore southeast trades, conditions can get a bit messy, resulting in crumbly waves that intermediates can manage. If you're planning your surf session, you’ll find that northwesterly winds are preferable, and the waves are rideable during low, mid, and high tides.
While the main focus here is surfing, it’s worth noting that this spot also sees some action from boogie boarders and bodysurfers, particularly when conditions create shoredump. If you venture to the mini-point to the east, you might catch a decent left that’s more sheltered from the northeast trades, offering another choice for your session. Just remember, it's best suited for intermediate surfers looking to enjoy and improve their skills in a relaxed setting.
