Asbury Park Wind Stats

This image illustrates how often and how strongly the wind blows from different directions over a normal November. The largest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with the strongest winds shown by deep blue. It is based on 3346 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Asbury Park, located 25 km away (16 miles). There are not enough 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 Asbury Park blows from the SE. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Asbury Park. Converseley, dominant spokes represent favoured directions, and the more dark blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. During a typical November, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (the lightest shade of blue) about 7% of the time (2 days each November) and blows offshore 42% of the time (10 days in an average November). Over an average November winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 2 days at Asbury Park
