The graph illustrates how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical April. The longest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with dark blue strongest. It is based on 3359 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Pwlldu Point, located 8 km away (5 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 Pwlldu Point blows from the WSW. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Pwlldu Point. On the other hand, dominant spokes represent favoured directions, and the more deep 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 (light blue) about 14% of the time (4 days each April) and blows offshore 31% of the time (1 days in an average April). In a typical April wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was expected for only a single days at Pwlldu Point
