(any wind direction)

The rose diagram illustrates how commonly 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 the strongest winds shown by the darkest shade of blue. It is based on 3460 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Cape St Francis, located 37 km away (23 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 most common wind at Cape St Francis blows from the ESE. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Cape St Francis. 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 March, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (the lightest shade of blue) about 0.5% of the time (0 days each March) and blows offshore just 4% of the time (1 days in an average March). In a typical March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was forecast for only a single days at Cape St Francis
