The longest 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 dark blue. It is based on 3238 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Concha de Artedo, located 51 km away (32 miles). There are not enough recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Without question some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3. According to the model, the prevailing wind at Concha de Artedo blows from the NW. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Concha de Artedo. 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 April, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (light blue) about 13% of the time (4 days each April) and blows offshore 37% of the time (10 days in an average April). During a typical April winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 3 days at Concha de Artedo
