TOFINO STORM SYSTEMS 101 The how/what/why of where our storms come from. There’s a reason Storm Watching is Tofino’s favourite spectator sport, and this season has already been quite a show-stopper. From moody skies and wave after wave exploding into our shores, to sudden glorious sunshine, Mother Nature is as unpredictably wild and beautiful as ever. Think you know storms? Check out Tofino Storm Systems 101 to up your weather game on the types of storms we experience here, the role the Gulf of Alaska plays, and the shock-and-awe that happens when two low pressure systems combine. Pssst! Thinking ahead to our Storm Watching Package but can't be here yet? Be sure to tune into our live Surf Cam whenever you need a wave fix.

RESORT TEAM SPOTLIGHT TUFF CITY TOM When it comes to helpful and friendly, guests agree that Houseman, Tom Smith, is that and more, voting him Five Star Employee of the Month. Originally from New Zealand, Tom says he “came to Vancouver Island in search of the quaint small surf town on the wild west coast known as Tuff City.” With a love for surfing, hiking, and photography, he found it, can't get enough of the Tofino vibe—and obviously—fit right in.
