(any wind direction)

The rose diagram describes how often and how strongly the wind blows from different directions over a normal March. The longest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue indicates the strength, with the strongest winds shown by deep blue. It is based on 3457 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Anna Maria Key, located 26 km away (16 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 most common wind at Anna Maria Key blows from the NW. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Anna Maria Key. On the other hand, dominant spokes represent 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, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (the lightest shade of blue) about 4% of the time (1 days each March) and blows offshore just 13% of the time (2 days in an average March). Over an average March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was forecast for only a single days at Anna Maria Key
