Last weekend when it was cold and foggy and the surf was lame at wick beach I checked out the warm sandy beach in Kennedy lake provincial park. It seem do able, the wind kicked up to 15+knots thermal 50feet off the beach. Might be good on really big gear, but an hour later, the fog lifted on the coast and Long Beach was good.

I don't think beach at Clayoquot Arm is any better. [/ur]http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explor ... ennedy_lk/[/url]
