North Island breaks
I'm going to be doing a surf trip around the island in my boat, it's a 48 foot sloop. I can cruise at a max of 7 knots on motor power, faster under sail depending on the wind. My question is, are there any safe anchorages around the surf spots on Nootka/Brooks Pen./Hesquiat? If anybody has any information about navigational hazards or GPS coordinates for me, I'd totally appreciate it, otherwise I'm going in blind. Mahalo.

been there here is what i found.
Nootka island is a beautiful place went to stay there for about a week .. me and 5 others with 10 surf boards all rented a plane that can land on the soft sand and we flew onto the beach and stayed for 8 days and not everyday was a surfing day but what a beautiful place to be.. Saw some kayakers paddle there way into this place and they stayed for 1 night then left.. but we had some surf as we listen to the radio for storms coming accross the ocean.. Plane came and picked us up on the 8th day and we were back to the jungle.. Did only see one baby wolf pup when we were there saw lost of paw prints around the tent area but never saw or heard them at night .... I am going back every summer now and think its great.

Enough BS already
I've surfed off of Nootka for 6 years now. To the dolts worried about "outsiders"... shut up already unless you're native you don't "belong here" either. Nootka's remote if you go unprepared you might get worked, it's your life to risk as you see fit. I've used the company that "guides" and offers "camps" out there, so have friends and none will ever go that route again, and most will spout evil in his direction, Clay of Tatchu adventures. What you put in print shows what's inside buddy. The surfings good off Nootka in Sept and better in Oct if you do decide to go then all the best to you cause it's a long way to go...
