(any wind direction)

This chart illustrates how often 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 indicates the strength, with deep blue strongest. It is based on 3460 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Whananaki bar, located 3 km away (2 miles). There are not enough 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 dominant wind at Whananaki bar blows from the E. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Whananaki bar. By contrast, dominant spokes illustrate favoured directions, and the more the darkest shade of 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 11% of the time (3 days each March) and blows offshore 22% of the time (0 days in an average March). During a typical March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was forecast for only a single days at Whananaki bar
