June: Small Westerly Summer Surf
June officially opens the low season at Wickaninnish. The average swell height is 1.1m (3.5ft), the average period is 10.4s, and although nearly 97% of the swell arrives from the good SSW-W window-dominated by WSW (40.9%) and W (35.6%)-the bulk of it is small. The 0.5 to 1m class accounts for around half of the observations, with a secondary peak in the 1 to 1.5m range. Expect playful, small-to-fun surf rather than pumping winter conditions, with occasional waist-to-shoulder-high sets on a good west swell.
Summer wind patterns are not your friend. Ideal offshore flow sits at just 15%, while WNW (36.8%) and W (13.4%) dominate, creating a persistent cross-onshore texture. Air temperature is 12.5°C, water temperature is 13.3°C, and precipitation is only 2.51mm per day. Dawn patrol is the play, especially before thermal northwest winds build in the afternoon.
