(any wind direction)

The rose diagram describes 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 implies the strength, with the darkest shade of blue strongest. It is based on 2963 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to 42nd St VA Beach, located 45 km away (28 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 dominant wind at 42nd St VA Beach blows from the ESE. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at 42nd St VA Beach. By contrast, dominant spokes illustrate favoured directions, and the more dark 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 4% of the time (1 days each March) and blows offshore just 24% of the time (7 days in an average March). During a typical March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 3 days at 42nd St VA Beach
