Surf: The main Tofino spot is Cox Beach, a crescent beach with tapering walls that line up best in the middle, while each end provides wind protection from the N and S respectively. Environment: It’s the usual contest site, there’s a webcam and plenty of accommodation nearby. Surf: General: Both ends of the flat, broad beach offer plenty in the way of shifty beachbreak walls, while the middle of the beach combines both the N and S swell energy to throw up some decent wedge peaks. The whole shebang generally closes out with anything over six-feet, but surprises can be had. The southern headland offers good protection against S winds. Cox is a huge beach, so there's plenty of room for everyone. Tides: Incoming, medium to high Size: Waist high-overhead Wind: Glassy or NE Swell: SW, W Bottom: Sand Paddling: Not too bad. Spot Rating: Fun. Access: Simple. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Weekends and summers can be packed; weekdays are uncrowded. Local Vibe: Stoked. Environment: Clean. Hazards: None. Season: September-February
