(any wind direction)

The figure describes how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical March. The longest 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 3460 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Port Waikato-Sunset beach, located 22 km away (14 miles). There are too few 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 Port Waikato-Sunset 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 Port Waikato-Sunset beach. By contrast, dominant spokes show 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 (pale blue) about 12% of the time (4 days each March) and blows offshore 36% of the time (11 days in an average March). In a typical March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 2 days at Port Waikato-Sunset beach
