Condos Wind Stats

The figure shows how often and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical June. 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 3264 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Condos, located 27 km away (17 miles). There are too few 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 prevailing wind at Condos blows from the SE. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Condos. 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 June, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (light blue) about 5% of the time (2 days each June) and blows offshore 7% of the time (2 days in an average June). During a typical June wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was predicted for only a single days at Condos
