Remarkable Caves Wind Stats

This picture describes how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions over a normal April. The biggest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue indicates the strength, with dark blue strongest. It is based on 3360 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Remarkable Caves, located 44 km away (27 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 Remarkable Caves blows from the SSW. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Remarkable Caves. On the other hand, dominant spokes show 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 April, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (light blue) about 9% of the time (3 days each April) and blows offshore 38% of the time (9 days in an average April). Over an average April winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 4 days at Remarkable Caves
