All Swells

(any wind direction)

The graph describes how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical March. The longest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue suggests the strength, with deep blue strongest. It is based on 3460 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Midshore Bay, located 44 km away (27 miles). There are insufficient recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Invevitably some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3. According to the model, the dominant wind at Midshore Bay blows from the SSE. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Midshore Bay. By contrast, dominant spokes illustrate favoured directions, and the more dark blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. Over an average March, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (the lightest shade of blue) about 10% of the time (3 days each March) and blows offshore 26% of the time (7 days in an average March). In a typical March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was predicted for only a single days at Midshore Bay
