Staying Cox Bay

• The good news is Pacific Rim (Tofino-Ukee) offers lots of options - the bad news is it can make it harder to choose as conditions can vary greatly day-to-day even hour-to-hour.
• There are some general observations here that ring true from what I have seen. Not listed are Long Beach (dial-a-wave conditions - smaller north and larger south Incinerator Rock) and Wickaninnish Beach (in the cove at the south end right outside the visitors' centre) which can also offer up great SUP conditions, but they are further away from where you are staying.
• June will likely offer up some smaller summer swell.
• If you are staying at Cox Bay its worth a look/try for sure, but it can be a volatile/difficult spot (as different swells can converge creating 'concentrated' conditions).
• Check out the surfcams (make sure to check the date stamps on the images to make sure they are 'fresh').
• Ask for "pick of the day" at the local surf shops (their suggestion will likely be 'busy' with schools and/or rentals).

Hope this is of some use to you. Enjoy the trip!

When in doubt just go to Chesterman. So many breaks and wind options there's almost always something that works. North and South parking lots have change rooms and showers but the middle is the least walking to get to the break of your choice.
