Storm Advisory For The Pacific Rim National Park Region

Looks like a stormy couple of days over Christmas in Tofino and Ucluelet.  Here are the details from an advisory issues by the park.

"Vancouver Island's Pacific Rim National Park are warning visitors about massive waves, gale force winds and hazardous surf conditions this holiday season.

We are asking the public to exercise extra caution while visiting beaches, shorelines and ocean waters in the Ucluelet, B.C., and Tofino area between Dec. 23 and Dec. 29.

Gale force winds could reach near 64 km/h and waves could climb to six metres in height — at a time when the island’s west coast is also expecting the highest tides of the year.
The storm conditions could flood beaches and cause massive logs to float.

Some parking lots and beaches could be closed temporarily, but individuals can watch the storms safely from the observation deck at Wickaninnish Beach and the lookout at Florencia Bay."

Play safe, enjoy your Holidays and perhaps most importantly GO CANUCKS!!
