Marine or land based? How far back? You can get past 24 hours from any marine light or buoy from the web site. Longer than that(land and sea) is available on Environment Canada web site.https://weather.gc.ca/index_e.htmlc
Type in Pacific coast marine weather. A map will come up showing the coast in the different weather areas. Near the top of the page click on Weather Information. Scroll down to past weather. Never used it but looks like it goes back a ways. Don't know why the link won't work.

thanks for the reply, mostly looking for land based data
You can try the Weather Canada's Historical Climate Data. It's hit and miss since weather plots come and go plus they'd like to sell you the data.
ya i'm trying it
Smithers, BC - 7 Day Forecast - Environment Canada (weather.gc.ca)
I chose Smithers as an example. You can use any weather station from Environment Canada
when you open this page, scroll down until you see the heading "Yesterday's Data" on the right side of the heading is a link to Historical data. You can call up different months and years. It has wind speed and direction in the data set.
Semper in excretum altum
You want to look at Ventusky
I have a favourite hill to hunt, but conditions have to be just right for favourable wind or an approach is pointless
Ventusky shows the local air flows, not sure how they get the modelling right but is usually spot on if the wind stays true long enough
I'd never considered the historic picture until this thread , but looking at the site and it allows one to pick any date and up it comes
Never say whoa in the middle of a mud hole
Yes Ventusky is awesome! Another good one is Wunderground
