Historical data
Location guide
Surfing conditions at Rosie's Bay in Canada offer a particularly unique experience due to its relatively secluded position on the western coast of Vancouver Island. Tofino, being famous for its intensive fetch and wave energy, is no different when it comes to this hidden gem. But, always remember to respect the location's privacy as locals regard it highly. Rosie's Bay is notorious for its colder water temperatures. Therefore, a good quality wetsuit, booties, gloves, and a hood are required even during the summer months. Winter temperatures can indeed be quite challenging, but the dedicated surfer will find the exhilarating waves worth the extra chill. The surf at Rosie's Bay is powerful and consistent with quality reef breaks. The waves are known to rise to high heights, making it a more suitable spot for the intermediate and advanced surfers. Beginners might find the conditions too challenging as they can get pretty intense, especially during the winter storm season. Dawn is the best time to catch the epic rides here, due to the perfect combination of sedate breezes and moderate wave sizes. As for wave direction, north to northwest swells serve the best surf, and east to southeast winds bring the most favorable conditions. At Rosie’s Bay, nature is on full, spectacular display, but one must be aware of the wildlife in the area. It's not unusual to share the waves with seals, sea lions, and occasionally orcas. All in all, Rosie's Bay creates a chilly, challenging, yet rewarding surfing playground for those willing to brave the elements. So kit up, paddle out, and let the powerful Canadian swells invigorate your surfing spirit.
