(any wind direction)

The graph shows how frequently 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 suggests the strength, with the strongest winds shown by the darkest shade of blue. It is based on 3460 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Banana Beach, located 30 km away (19 miles). There are too few 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 prevailing wind at Banana Beach blows from the NW. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Banana Beach. By contrast, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more dark 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 (light blue) about 15% of the time (5 days each March) and blows offshore 61% of the time (17 days in an average March). Over an average March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 3 days at Banana Beach
