(any wind direction)

The graph illustrates how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical April. The largest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with dark blue showing the strongest winds. It is based on 2880 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Ethel Wreck, located 29 km away (18 miles). There are too few 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 most common wind at Ethel Wreck blows from the SW. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Ethel Wreck. Converseley, dominant spokes represent favoured directions, and the more dark blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. Over an average April, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (the lightest shade of blue) about 13% of the time (4 days each April) and blows offshore 36% of the time (11 days in an average April). During a typical April wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was expected for only a single days at Ethel Wreck
