Nootka Island
Edit SpotAbout
Remote, remote location, tons of wildlife, big like Black Bears to small mice that will enjoy your food. Not a high probability that you will see another person. A long trip into a highly remmoved location, be prepared. Not only much experienced surfer but experienced hiker required. Take a look at weather forcast and don't bother in the winter.
Additional Info:
Try spots of Bajo Point and Calvin Bay to find waves.
My guess about the ideal surf season would be that it would match what is typical to Van Is. surfing and swells. This being spring and fall, because summer lacks energy, though has great weather and the winter has too much energy and can get scary being the first land that storms meet.
Location
Loading...Access
Remote location off of west coast of Vancouver Island. Can be accessed directly by boat, if you are very experienced with the Ocean. Or six hour drive west from Campbell River onto a boat charter (Uchuck 3, passenger ferry), to land on Nootka Island. From the drop off is an eight hour hike west through rain forestto the open Ocean. The final destination has surf shacks to accommodate. Not much chance of seeing another person.
