(any wind direction)

The figure describes how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical March. The biggest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies 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 Sapphire Street, located 37 km away (23 miles). There are insufficient recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Without question some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3. According to the model, the prevailing wind at Sapphire Street blows from the WSW. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Sapphire Street. Converseley, dominant spokes represent favoured directions, and the more dark 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 (the lightest shade of blue) about 28% of the time (9 days each March) and blows offshore 37% of the time (11 days in an average March). In a typical March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was expected for only a single days at Sapphire Street
