This picture describes how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions over a normal July. 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 3720 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Pors Poulhan, located 3 km away (2 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 most common wind at Pors Poulhan blows from the W. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Pors Poulhan. By contrast, 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 July, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (pale blue) about 11% of the time (3 days each July) and blows offshore 43% of the time (13 days in an average July). Over an average July wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was predicted for only a single days at Pors Poulhan
