Anna Bay-Morna Point Wind Stats

This image shows how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical June. The biggest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with deep blue strongest. It is based on 3506 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Anna Bay-Morna Point, located 25 km away (16 miles). There are too few 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 Anna Bay-Morna Point blows from the ESE. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Anna Bay-Morna Point. 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 June, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (pale blue) about 6% of the time (2 days each June) and blows offshore 20% of the time (4 days in an average June). During a typical June winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 2 days at Anna Bay-Morna Point
