All Swells

(any wind direction)

This chart illustrates how commonly and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical March. The biggest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with deep blue strongest. It is based on 2964 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to North Stradbroke-Cylinders, located 11 km away (7 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 most common wind at North Stradbroke-Cylinders blows from the E. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at North Stradbroke-Cylinders. 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, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (the lightest shade of blue) about 6% of the time (2 days each March) and blows offshore 36% of the time (11 days in an average March). In a typical March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was expected for only a single days at North Stradbroke-Cylinders
