(any wind direction)

The rose diagram shows how often 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 suggests the strength, with the strongest winds shown by dark blue. It is based on 2964 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to El Zonte, located 55 km away (34 miles).

Over an average March, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (light blue) about 18% of the time (6 days each March) and blows offshore 50% of the time (16 days in an average March).
