(any wind direction)

The graph shows 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 suggests the strength, with dark blue strongest. It is based on 2964 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2009, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Tahunanui bar, located 36 km away (22 miles). There are not enough recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Invevitably some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3. According to the model, the most common wind at Tahunanui bar blows from the NNW. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Tahunanui bar. On the other hand, dominant spokes represent favoured directions, and the more the darkest shade of 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 (light blue) about 14% of the time (4 days each March) and blows offshore 24% of the time (0 days in an average March). During a typical March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was predicted for only a single days at Tahunanui bar
