(any wind direction)

The figure illustrates how often 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 indicates 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 Steamer Lane-The Point, located 43 km away (27 miles). There are not enough 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 prevailing wind at Steamer Lane-The Point blows from the WSW. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Steamer Lane-The Point. By contrast, dominant spokes illustrate 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 4% of the time (1 days each March) and blows offshore just 8% of the time (2 days in an average March). In a typical March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was forecast for only a single days at Steamer Lane-The Point
