(any wind direction)

This chart shows how frequently 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 strongest. It is based on 3378 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Playa Blanca, located 250 km away (155 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 Playa Blanca blows from the SW. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Playa Blanca. 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. Over an average 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 8% of the time (2 days in an average March). During a typical March winds exceeding >40kph (25mph) are not expected, but 3 have winds on the range 30-40 (19-25) at Playa Blanca
