(any wind direction)

This picture 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 indicates the strength, with the strongest winds shown by dark blue. It is based on 2964 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Paritutu and Ngamotu Beach, located 8 km away (5 miles). There are insufficient 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 Paritutu and Ngamotu Beach blows from the WSW. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Paritutu and Ngamotu Beach. On the other hand, dominant spokes illustrate favoured directions, and the more dark 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 14% of the time (4 days each March) and blows offshore 36% of the time (11 days in an average March). Over an average March wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was forecast for only a single days at Paritutu and Ngamotu Beach
