Description
Florencia Bay - Vancouver Island, Canada
Florencia Bay features a beach break with both right and left waves, characterized by a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The waves can be hollow, offering fun conditions, particularly when the swell comes from the Northwest or West and the wind is from the East.
Accessing the spot requires a good walk of 15-30 minutes from a nearby tourist info center. Upon arrival, surfers are greeted with a relatively uncrowded environment during the week, while weekends see a few more surfers. The beach offers a unique experience with underwater boulders to navigate and a sandy point past the river mouth, where the waves can become hollow and less populated. However, caution is advised due to potential rips, undertow, and rocky areas.
