Henties Bay
Edit SpotAbout
Beautiful scenery. Isolated, Looooong waves. Gets classic.
Atmosphere:
in the middle of nowhere. Private property so make sure you watch for gaurds patrolling. We got in trouble when caught with one guy once but gave him a bottle of brandy, then he left us alone..
Additional Info:
Another Long lefthand point break. Pretty straight forward wave, simular to Cape Cross but abit shorter. Slow peeling and soft wave that gets longer with bigger swell. Can get hollow on low tides.
