Wind Stats
This picture shows how often and how strongly the wind blows from different directions over a normal May. The longest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with deep blue strongest. It is based on 3192 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Concha de Artedo, located 51 km away (32 miles). There are insufficient 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 Concha de Artedo blows from the NW. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Concha de Artedo. Converseley, 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 May, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (the lightest shade of blue) about 14% of the time (4 days each May) and blows offshore 36% of the time (8 days in an average May). Over an average May winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 2 days at Concha de Artedo
