Frequently asked
Will the sunset be good tonight in Tofino?
The live score above pulls today's forecast and runs it through GoldCast's scoring model. Above 70 is worth going out. Below 40, stay home. The score updates daily.
What makes a good sunset in Tofino?
Tofino faces the open Pacific from the west coast of Vancouver Island, which gives you an unobstructed ocean horizon with no land in the way. Chesterman Beach and Cox Bay are the two main sunset spots: wide sand, driftwood foregrounds, and surfers in the water. The rainy season runs October through April, so summer and early autumn are the reliable windows. After a storm clears, the air goes sharp and the light turns exceptional. The cloud dynamics on the coast move fast, which is exactly the kind of sky that scores well for sunset.
What time is sunset in Tofino tonight?
Tofino sunset ranges from around 4:20 PM in December to 9:10 PM in June. Tonight's exact time is shown in the score card above, updated daily from live weather data.
