2008 Tofino Surf Reports
We are giving our best surf forecasts for Tofino and Long Beach areas. The
funny thing about forecasting is that things can shift quickly. North Chesterman
may look good on paper but the action's at South when you see the real thing.
So, use the forecasts as guides but trust your intuitioNorth it's right more
often than you give it credit for.
Tofino Surfing Beaches
MacKenzie Beach - Rarely has surf but sometimes
some small waves can roll in
North Chesterman Beach - Good surf depending
on wind, really picks up in winter
South Chesterman Beach - Good surf depending
on wind, popular hang out spot
Cox Bay Beach - Stronger surf than other beaches
in summer, Bigger, harder waves.
Long Beach - Lots of space and good waves,
fun for everyone. Need a vehicle.
Wickanninish Beach - Some good surf. Closer
for Ucluelet surfers. Need a vehicle.
Overall these days the mornings have
been good with the surf dying out during the day. There have been some bad winds
but when they leave the waves are ike glass. Pick your time and you may get the
ride you've been waiting for. |
Looks like a good surfing week and we deserve it. See you at the beach!
