The rose diagram illustrates how often and how strongly the wind blows from different directions over a normal March. The largest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue suggests the strength, with the darkest shade of blue showing the strongest winds. It is based on 2963 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to 1st Parking Lot, located 41 km away (25 miles). There are not enough 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 most common wind at 1st Parking Lot blows from the SSE. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at 1st Parking Lot. By contrast, dominant spokes illustrate favoured directions, and the more deep 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 (light blue) about 4% of the time (1 days each March) and blows offshore just 25% of the time (3 days in an average March). Over an average March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 2 days at 1st Parking Lot
