Point o Rocks Wind Statistics, Spring averages since 2006

The graph shows how commonly and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical northern hemisphere spring. The largest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with dark blue showing the strongest winds. It is based on 8673 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Point o Rocks, located 54 km away (34 miles). There are not enough 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 most common wind at Point o Rocks blows from the SW. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Point o Rocks. Converseley, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more deep blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. Over an average northern hemisphere spring, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (light blue) about 8% of the time (7 days each northern hemisphere spring) and blows offshore 16% of the time (5 days in an average northern hemisphere spring). During a typical northern hemisphere spring wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was expected for only a single days at Point o Rocks
