Surf Tofino!
The area around Tofino is fully exposed to the Pacific Ocean and so — believe it or not — you can actually surf everyday year round. The water may be a little chilly, but in the last 10 years wetsuit technology has come a long way making surfing and other watersports a lot warmer and more comfortable.Tofino’s beaches and coves are balancing between majestic mountains and a very powerful body of water, making for a genuine wilderness surfing experience. Mix that with a laid back lifestyle and it’s no wonder this area has developed its own unique surf culture.
The coastline is made up of beaches and coves separated by rocky headlands and sand spits that point in all sorts of directions, so not every spot will show the same conditions on the same day. Finding surf is all about being in the right place at the right time, so this requires an open mind and understanding of the local conditions.
There is a number of surf schools, equipment rentals and outfitters that can accommodate the needs of both beginners and experts for Tofino surfing.
