Whether you’re a Storm Watching fan, Weather Network geek, or an armchair-meteorologist, there is something about the majesty of a Tofino winter storm. That time of year we await with wide-eyed anticipation, when Mother Nature puts on a furious, yet spectacular display of moody skies, blustery winds, and wave after wave, exploding against the South Coast of Vancouver Island, especially right here in Cox Bay.
Escape October through April with our Pacific Storm Watching Package and save up to 25% the longer you stay.
And while Storm Watching can be an exhilarating display of Mother Nature and the Pacific Ocean going head-to-head, Tofino is also about slowing down and recharging. Stay in, read a book, watch a movie or take a well-deserved nap. The beach can wait.
Imagine watching waves that have travelled from Japan—over 7,400 kilometres. You see them in the distance, continuing to build before your very eyes. Furiously frothing wave after wave, racing towards their ultimate mission… to collide with the beach right in front of you.
The sound, smell and spray of massive surf exploding against the rocks. The foamy storm surge rushing past the tide-line, dragging 30-foot logs end-over-end to settle into their new beach-scape destination.
This is storm watching in Tofino.
