June: The Summer Doldrums Set In
June is the start of the true low season for wave size at Ingonish. Average swell drops to around 2.5ft (0.8m) and the period is stuck at 6.8s, so the surf is dominated by soft, waist-high windswell rather than Atlantic groundswell. The direction mix leans heavily into the southern half of the compass - SSE (13.3%), ESE (11.0%), S (10.8%) and E (9.6%) - which keeps some energy hitting the east-facing shoreline, but rarely with force. Wind becomes a double-edged sword: ideal offshore conditions jump to 42%, with WSW, SW and SSW combining for nearly a third of observations. That yields many glassy summer mornings. The ocean finally begins to wake up too, with water temperature warming to 9.4°C and average air temps of 12.2°C. But the missing ingredient is swell size. Unless a late-season tropical system drifts up the coast, count on small, fun, groveling conditions best suited to high-volume boards and foamies.
