(any wind direction)

The graph shows how commonly and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical March. 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 2964 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2009, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to West Wittering, located 31 km away (19 miles). There are too few 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 West Wittering blows from the SW. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at West Wittering. On the other hand, 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 (light blue) about 6% of the time (2 days each March) and blows offshore 11% of the time (0 days in an average March). During a typical March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 4 days at West Wittering
