The longest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue indicates the strength, with dark blue strongest. It is based on 3460 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Zumaya (Playa de Itxurun), located 29 km away (18 miles). There are insufficient 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 most common wind at Zumaya (Playa de Itxurun) blows from the NW. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Zumaya (Playa de Itxurun). By contrast, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more the darkest shade of blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from.

During a typical March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 3 days at Zumaya (Playa de Itxurun)
