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 dark blue. It is based on 2964 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Flat Rocks (Port Elizabeth), located 17 km away (11 miles). There are not enough recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. No doubt some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3. According to the model, the dominant wind at Flat Rocks (Port Elizabeth) blows from the S. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Flat Rocks (Port Elizabeth). By contrast, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more the darkest shade of 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 12% of the time (4 days each March) and blows offshore 48% of the time (14 days in an average March). In a typical March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was predicted for only a single days at Flat Rocks (Port Elizabeth)
