(any wind direction)

The figure illustrates how often 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 suggests the strength, with the darkest shade of blue showing the strongest winds. It is based on 2964 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Ocean Beach (Whangarei), located 35 km away (22 miles). There are insufficient 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 Ocean Beach (Whangarei) blows from the ENE. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Ocean Beach (Whangarei). By contrast, dominant spokes represent favoured directions, and the more the darkest shade of 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 (pale blue) about 12% of the time (4 days each March) and blows offshore 31% of the time (9 days in an average March). In a typical March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 2 days at Ocean Beach (Whangarei)
