(any wind direction)

The rose diagram describes how commonly and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical 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 2964 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to El Porto Beach, located 46 km away (29 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 most common wind at El Porto Beach blows from the SW. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at El Porto Beach. By contrast, dominant spokes represent favoured directions, and the more dark blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. Over an average March, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (pale blue) about 30% of the time (9 days each March) and blows offshore 39% of the time (11 days in an average March). During a typical March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was forecast for only a single days at El Porto Beach
