(any wind direction)

The figure illustrates how commonly and how strongly the wind blows from different directions over a normal March. The longest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue suggests the strength, with deep blue showing the strongest winds. It is based on 3460 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Kaituna Cut, located 29 km away (18 miles). There are insufficient 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 dominant wind at Kaituna Cut blows from the NE. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Kaituna Cut. Converseley, dominant spokes represent favoured directions, and the more dark blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. During a typical March, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (light blue) about 11% of the time (3 days each March) and blows offshore 31% of the time (8 days in an average March). Over an average March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was predicted for only a single days at Kaituna Cut
