Huge waves, explosions of foaming white spray, thundering surf, and thrashing rain driven by winds that gust up to 100 knots — while weather like this may not be ideal for boating, it’s wonderfully exhilarating to watch the spectacle from the comfort of a fireplace-warmed oceanside inn. Or, you can dress up in raincoats and galoshes and watch nature’s fury from designated-safe outdoor viewpoints. As a spectator sport, winter storm watching in the Pacific Rim region has soared in popularity. From November through February, several accommodation properties in Ucluelet and Tofino offer storm watching packages that can also include marine wildlife viewing, hiking excursions, or luxurious spa treatments. |
