Overview

Some might say getting caught in a winter storm is unlucky. Not in the eyes of Tofino locals and seasoned storm watchers. The much anticipated months between October and April transform the area and Pacific Ocean into a mysterious, powerful and awe-inspiring destination. Pack your raincoat and gumboots to face the elements and make sure to book a cozy accommodation where you can view the beach and ocean while getting comfy in front of the fireplace. These are the essentials for a successful Storm Watching Getaway in Tofino.

Tofino Sunset
  • Today is at your leisure. There are also many great hiking options to choose from. Bundle up and experience storm watching at its finest. During some of the most violent storms, 12-metre-tall ocean swells pound Cox Bay beaches and Headland View Point while winds over 60 knots in force scream off the Pacific Ocean, blasting sea water and rain in equal parts. You can also experience this all from the comfort of your oceanview room.
