(any wind direction)

The figure illustrates how commonly and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical March. The longest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with the strongest winds shown by deep blue. It is based on 2716 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Salgar, 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 prevailing wind at Salgar blows from the NE. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Salgar. 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. Over an average March, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (the lightest shade of blue) about 1.4% of the time (0 days each March) and blows offshore just 1.4% of the time (0 days in an average March). During a typical March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 7 days at Salgar
