All Swells

(any wind direction)

The figure describes how commonly 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 implies the strength, with deep blue strongest. It is based on 3460 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Playa del Barco, located 6 km away (4 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 dominant wind at Playa del Barco blows from the SSW. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Playa del Barco. Converseley, dominant spokes represent favoured directions, and the more the darkest shade of 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 (the lightest shade of blue) about 0% of the time (0 days each March) and blows offshore just 0.4% of the time (0 days in an average March). Over an average March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was expected for only a single days at Playa del Barco
