Frequently asked questions

How cold is the water in Tofino?

Water temperature ranges from 8-12°C (46–54°F). You’ll need a full wetsuit even in summer but you can get rid of the boots and gloves in the summer!

Is surf gear rental available year-round?

Yes, we rent gear year-round. While winter brings shorter daylight hours, many say it offers some of the best surf. Perfect for those bold enough to embrace the cold and rain.

Cox Bay and Chesterman Beach are popular beginner-friendly spots with consistent waves. We are located 10 minutes away from North Chesterman beach, one of the best surfing beach in Canada!

How much does it cost to rent surf gear?

Do I need to reserve gear in advance?

Walk-ins are welcome, but availability can vary. To guarantee we have the gear you need, we recommend booking in advance through our website.

What kind of surfboard should I rent?

Beginners usually rent soft-top longboards (8–9 ft) for stability. Intermediates or advanced surfers might choose a hard-top surfboard depending on the conditions and your skill level. We wrote an entire blog post about that, have a look!
