The figure shows how commonly and how strongly the wind blows from different directions over a normal March. The largest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue suggests the strength, with deep blue showing the strongest winds. It is based on 3460 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Cantao da Praia Grande, located 30 km away (19 miles). There are not enough recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. No doubt some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3. According to the model, the prevailing wind at Cantao da Praia Grande blows from the SE. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Cantao da Praia Grande. Converseley, dominant spokes represent favoured directions, and the more dark blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from.

Over an average March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was predicted for only a single days at Cantao da Praia Grande
