I've fished that time of year on the Ucluelet side of Vancouver Island. The water at that time of year is very rough so if you are prone to sea sickness then its going to be a rough ride.
The rough seas also makes it very hard to get your lures to bottom. I was using heavy mudraker jigs and they would only stay near bottom for a minute before starting to get carried sideways. Bottom fishing in deep water is going to be really hard.
If I were you I'd wait a bit and go in late June or July instead of May if you're going to target that side of the island.
