This chart shows how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical March. The longest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue indicates the strength, with deep blue showing the strongest winds. It is based on 3460 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Santa Cruz - 26th, located 46 km away (29 miles). There are not enough 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 prevailing wind at Santa Cruz - 26th blows from the WSW. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Santa Cruz - 26th. By contrast, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more deep 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 (light blue) about 4% of the time (1 days each March) and blows offshore just 20% of the time (5 days in an average March). In a typical March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was forecast for only a single days at Santa Cruz - 26th
