Cox Bay

Edit Spot
About

Really nice wave.

Atmosphere:
Locals from Tofino are all over this spot.
Nice glassy rides can be found at both ends of the protected bay along the sides. Also very good A frames in the middle.
Rosies Bay is just north of here it also breaks well but requires a rocky entry.
Can get a little crowded when there's a nice swell in the summer, but it's never too crowded since it's a pretty big beach.

Additional Info:
Best on an low incomming tide. Nice beach break with good walls. It is possible to get some big rides here.only park in gravel praking lot, or owner of Pacific Rim Resort will tow your car.
When it's really big it's pretty hard to get out - try North Chesterman's instead.
Very steep at low tide.
Better with upcoming tide.
