Historical data

Location guide

The surfing conditions at Cox Bay, Canada, are an ecstatic blend of raw Canadian wilderness and the rhythmic allure of the Pacific Ocean. Sharing its shores with the coastal rainforest, the atmosphere at Cox Bay marries the ever-changing moods of the ocean with the steadiness of the forest. Cox Bay, located in the heart of Tofino, delivers a balanced chemistry of elements that cater to surfers of varying skill levels. On one hand, its location's geographical attributes bring consistent waves for most of the year. On the other hand, the water temperature oscillates throughout the year; the sea gets a bit chilly, especially outside the peak summer months. Therefore, a wetsuit becomes a surfer's best friend during these times. The sandy bottom beach is a generous playground for beginners to find their balance and rhythm. However, the tides, which range significantly, can affect wave size and frequencies, necessitating an understanding of the tidal patterns. While Cox Bay can entertain a considerable crowd, the surf lineup never feels too crowded, engaging the spirit of friendliness and mutual respect synonymous with surf culture. Furthermore, beach breaks facilitate variations that transition well for intermediate and advanced surfers, who dare to ride bigger, faster waves that offer spontaneous transitions and maneuvers. Cox Bay epitomizes the Canadian west coast surf scene, presenting the perfect setting for anyone who wishes to engage with the ocean waves, whether they're the seasoned expert looking for an adrenaline rush or the beginner setting their first board onto the water.
