Weather can be anything. This year we had sunny days and rainy days. Right now it is breathtakingly sunny. A couple of weeks ago we had our first winter storm with 20 ft. waves and high winds. Absolutely fantastic!!! Tofino is beautiful any time of the year and that's why I moved here. We were coming for winter holidays and it just grew on us.

The only difference between August and October is that August is traditionally warmer and drier, but you're not talking a hude variation in temperature, as Tofino is usually cool in the August anyway. I was there in August of 93 and it was misty and cloudy for most of the time - definitely a magical atmosphere.

I wouldn't plan to have warm and sunny weather on a trip to Tofino ANY month of the year -- and that's okay! In fact, I was THERE for the storm Wendy describes and I wouldn't have traded the wind and rain for the tropics. It was captivating. Bring a good slicker, rain boots, the right attitude about getting wet (and then, getting warm in a soaker tub in front of a roaring fire while sipping some lovely hot concoction)and enjoy MUCH lower rates!

You'll have a great time! Long Beach Lodge is very nice - has a great atmosphere! I would pick October because August is simply too crowded for me. I love the off-season here. If you have a chance be sure and have a dinner at the Raincoast Cafe! It's my favorite followed by The Schooner and Cafe Pamplona. If you have lots of $$ have a dinner at The Pointe but lunch is good too and definitely more affordable.
