Asilomar Wind Statistics, Autumn averages since 2006

This chart describes how commonly and how strongly the wind blows from different directions over a normal northern hemisphere autumn. The longest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue suggests the strength, with the strongest winds shown by deep blue. It is based on 7252 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Asilomar, located 15 km away (9 miles). There are too few 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 Asilomar blows from the WNW. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Asilomar. By contrast, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more the darkest shade of blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. During a typical northern hemisphere autumn, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (pale blue) about 28% of the time (25 days each northern hemisphere autumn) and blows offshore 37% of the time (34 days in an average northern hemisphere autumn). Over an average northern hemisphere autumn winds exceeding >40kph (25mph) are not expected, but 2 have winds on the range 30-40 (19-25) at Asilomar
