The largest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with dark blue showing the strongest winds. It is based on 3505 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Hossegor - La Nord, located 37 km away (23 miles). There are insufficient 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 dominant wind at Hossegor - La Nord blows from the WNW. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Hossegor - La Nord. By contrast, dominant spokes illustrate favoured directions, and the more deep 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 (pale blue) about 18% of the time (5 days each June) and blows offshore 28% of the time (8 days in an average June). During a typical June wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was expected for only a single days at Hossegor - La Nord
