(any wind direction)

The rose diagram describes how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical March. The largest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with dark blue strongest. It is based on 3212 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Figueira da Foz - Gala, located 18 km away (11 miles). There are insufficient recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Invevitably some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3. According to the model, the dominant wind at Figueira da Foz - Gala blows from the WNW. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Figueira da Foz - Gala. By contrast, 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. Over an average March, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (pale blue) about 13% of the time (4 days each March) and blows offshore 32% of the time (10 days in an average March). In a typical March winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 2 days at Figueira da Foz - Gala
