Bremer Bay Wind Stats

This image describes how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical June. The biggest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue suggests the strength, with the strongest winds shown by deep blue. It is based on 3506 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Bremer Bay, located 17 km away (11 miles). There are insufficient 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 Bremer Bay blows from the SSW. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Bremer Bay. Converseley, 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 June, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (light blue) about 5% of the time (2 days each June) and blows offshore 55% of the time (15 days in an average June). During a typical June winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 3 days at Bremer Bay
