(any wind direction)

The graph illustrates 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 indicates 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 The Point -Fort Pickens, located 41 km away (25 miles). There are too few 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 The Point -Fort Pickens blows from the SE. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at The Point -Fort Pickens. Converseley, dominant spokes illustrate favoured directions, and the more deep blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from.

In a typical March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was forecast for only a single days at The Point -Fort Pickens
