(any wind direction)

The graph describes how commonly and how strongly the wind blows from different directions over a normal March. The biggest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with the strongest winds shown by the darkest shade of blue. It is based on 2964 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Fairy Bower, located 29 km away (18 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 Fairy Bower blows from the SE. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Fairy Bower. On the other hand, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more deep blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. During a typical March, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (pale blue) about 8% of the time (2 days each March) and blows offshore 27% of the time (9 days in an average March). Over an average March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 2 days at Fairy Bower
