Description

Henties Bay - Namibia Henties Bay features a left-hand point break over a reef with a mix of coral and sand. The waves are known for their slow peeling and can become hollow at low tide, making it a fun spot for various skill levels. The area is accessible via a short walk (5-15 minutes) and requires a four-wheel drive for access. Nestled in a remote location, Henties Bay offers beautiful scenery and an isolated atmosphere. The waves are reminiscent of Cape Cross but slightly shorter, providing a classic surfing experience. It works well at all tides, particularly with swells from the west and southwest, and is best enjoyed with northeast winds. While the spot remains empty during the week and weekends, surfers should be cautious of rips, rocks, and the presence of sharks. Note that the beach is private, so be mindful of patrolling guards.
