All Swells

(any wind direction)

This picture describes how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical 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 Terceira - Praia do Norte, located 26 km away (16 miles). There are insufficient 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 Terceira - Praia do Norte blows from the NW. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Terceira - Praia do Norte. Converseley, dominant spokes represent favoured directions, and the more dark blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from.

During a typical March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 4 days at Terceira - Praia do Norte
