(any wind direction)

The figure illustrates 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 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 Indian Beach/Ecola State Park, located 8 km away (5 miles). There are too few 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 prevailing wind at Indian Beach/Ecola State Park blows from the WSW. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Indian Beach/Ecola State Park. On the other hand, 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 28% of the time (8 days in an average March). In a typical March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was predicted for only a single days at Indian Beach/Ecola State Park
