(any wind direction)

The rose diagram illustrates how often and how strongly the wind blows from different directions over a normal 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 showing the strongest winds. It is based on 3460 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Yellow Rock Reef, located 24 km away (15 miles). There are not enough 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 most common wind at Yellow Rock Reef blows from the NE. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Yellow Rock Reef. Converseley, dominant spokes illustrate 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 March, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (pale blue) about 6% of the time (2 days each March) and blows offshore 8% of the time (2 days in an average March). Over an average March winds exceeding >40kph (25mph) are not expected, but 6 have winds on the range 30-40 (19-25) at Yellow Rock Reef
