Wind Stats
The figure describes how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical April. The largest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue suggests the strength, with deep blue showing the strongest winds. It is based on 3360 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Biscarosse Plage, located 20 km away (12 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 Biscarosse Plage blows from the WNW. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Biscarosse Plage. On the other hand, dominant spokes represent favoured directions, and the more dark 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 (the lightest shade of blue) about 13% of the time (4 days each April) and blows offshore 38% of the time (11 days in an average April). During a typical April wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was predicted for only a single days at Biscarosse Plage
