It is based on 3460 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to 17th Street Boardwalk, located 33 km away (21 miles). There are insufficient recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Without question some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3. According to the model, the dominant wind at 17th Street Boardwalk blows from the E. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at 17th Street Boardwalk. 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 wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was forecast for only a single days at 17th Street Boardwalk
