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 dark blue. It is based on 3038 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2008, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Clogherhead Beach, located 0 km away (0 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 most common wind at Clogherhead Beach blows from the S. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Clogherhead Beach. By contrast, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more deep blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. During a typical April, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (the lightest shade of blue) about 8% of the time (2 days each April) and blows offshore 16% of the time (0 days in an average April). Over an average April wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was forecast for only a single days at Clogherhead Beach
