(any wind direction)

The figure describes how frequently 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 indicates 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 Oreti Beach, located 56 km away (35 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 dominant wind at Oreti Beach blows from the WSW. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Oreti Beach. Converseley, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more dark 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 (the lightest shade of blue) about 10% of the time (3 days each March) and blows offshore 27% of the time (8 days in an average March). Over an average March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 6 days at Oreti Beach
