Asia - Mar Azul Wind Stats

This chart illustrates how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical June. 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 deep blue. It is based on 3266 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Asia - Mar Azul, located 49 km away (30 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 dominant wind at Asia - Mar Azul blows from the SSW. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Asia - Mar Azul. 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. Over an average June, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (the lightest shade of blue) about 0.7% of the time (0 days each June) and blows offshore just 0.7% of the time (0 days in an average June). In a typical June wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was forecast for only a single days at Asia - Mar Azul
