(any wind direction)

The figure illustrates how often 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 suggests the strength, with the darkest shade of blue strongest. It is based on 3460 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Pukerua Bay, located 33 km away (21 miles). There are not enough 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 prevailing wind at Pukerua Bay blows from the NW. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Pukerua Bay. By contrast, 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 March, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (pale blue) about 1.6% of the time (0 days each March) and blows offshore just 4% of the time (1 days in an average March). During a typical March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 2 days at Pukerua Bay
