Tofino Storm Watching: Our Favourite Spectator Sport

Whether you’re a curious weather-watcher or an armchair-meteorologist by nature, there’s something about the majesty of Storm Watching in Tofino. It’s that time of year we await with wide-eyed anticipation. When Mother Nature puts on a furious, yet spectacular display of moody skies and blustery winds.

Tofino Storm Watching is predictably unpredictable and wildly powerful to behold. Watch wave after awe-inspiring wave, exploding and frothing against the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Especially right here on Cox Bay beach where it’s showtime from October through April.

5,000 KM waves

Imagine it’s Tofino Storm Watching season. You’re gazing into the distance at waves that have travelled from the far east coast of Asia. Russia to be exact—almost 5,000 kilometres away.

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 tideline, dragging 30-foot logs end-over-end. Finally, they settle into their new beach-scape destination. And you saw the entire awe-inspiring display happen.

This is Storm Watching in Tofino.

For an unforgettable experience, join us on the edge of the Pacific Rim National Park in British Columbia.
