Description
Long Beach - Tofino, Vancouver Island
Long Beach features a beach break with both right and left waves over a sandy bottom, offering ordinary power. Located in Pacific Rim National Park, it provides instant access to surfers, with a short walk of less than 5 minutes from parking. The optimal conditions occur at mid and high tide, with rising and falling tides, and favorable swell from the Northwest, West, and Southwest.
Stretching approximately 14 km, Long Beach is renowned for its consistent surf, particularly in the Lovekin Rock area, which faces west and captures decent swells. While summer brings more crowds, winter offers a more tranquil experience. Surfers of all levels can enjoy this spot, but caution is advised due to strong currents and the presence of aggressive sea lions. The beach is backed by stunning temperate rainforests, and local surf schools provide excellent training opportunities. For those seeking adventure, nearby bays like Cox Bay and Chesterman's Beach are worth exploring for bigger waves.
