(any wind direction)

This picture describes how commonly and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical March. The largest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with the darkest shade of 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 Larsen Street, located 27 km away (17 miles). There are not enough 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 most common wind at Larsen Street blows from the WSW. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Larsen Street. By contrast, dominant spokes represent 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 20% of the time (6 days each March) and blows offshore 34% of the time (7 days in an average March). During a typical March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was expected for only a single days at Larsen Street
