(any wind direction)

The rose diagram 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 deep blue strongest. It is based on 3460 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Shark Pit, located 27 km away (17 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 most common wind at Shark Pit blows from the WNW. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Shark Pit. 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 (the lightest shade of blue) about 16% of the time (5 days each March) and blows offshore 27% of the time (8 days in an average March). In a typical March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 2 days at Shark Pit
