(any wind direction)

The figure shows 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 suggests the strength, with the strongest winds shown by dark blue. It is based on 3460 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Kakanui River Mouth, located 35 km away (22 miles). There are too few 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 prevailing wind at Kakanui River Mouth blows from the SSE. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Kakanui River Mouth. 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. During a typical 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 30% of the time (9 days in an average March). Over an average March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 2 days at Kakanui River Mouth
