All Swells

(any wind direction)

This chart illustrates how frequently 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 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 Bahia Grande, located 51 km away (32 miles). There are too few recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. No doubt some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3. According to the model, the prevailing wind at Bahia Grande 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 Bahia Grande. On the other hand, dominant spokes illustrate favoured directions, and the more the darkest shade of 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 (the lightest shade of blue) about 14% of the time (4 days each March) and blows offshore 45% of the time (14 days in an average March). Over an average March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 2 days at Bahia Grande
