Delray Beach Wind Stats

This chart describes how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical November. The longest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with the strongest winds shown by deep blue. It is based on 2867 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Delray Beach, located 9 km away (6 miles). There are not enough recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Invevitably some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3. According to the model, the most common wind at Delray Beach blows from the NE. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Delray Beach. On the other hand, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more dark blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. Over an average November, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (light blue) about 9% of the time (3 days each November) and blows offshore 19% of the time (1 days in an average November). In a typical November wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was expected for only a single days at Delray Beach
