Henderson Bay

Henderson Bay is a bigger Northland beach-and-reef setup near the far north, with a rare-crowd feel and enough shape to matter when the northeast pulse hits cleanly. The reef element and exposed coast give it more character than a simple beach check. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Henderson Bay in Northland.
