Nembrala Wind Statistics, Summer averages since 2006

This image illustrates how commonly and how strongly the wind blows from different directions over a normal southern hemisphere summer. 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 8485 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Nembrala, located 43 km away (27 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 dominant wind at Nembrala blows from the SW. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Nembrala. On the other hand, 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 southern hemisphere summer, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (the lightest shade of blue) about 22% of the time (20 days each southern hemisphere summer) and blows offshore 31% of the time (18 days in an average southern hemisphere summer). Over an average southern hemisphere summer winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 3 days at Nembrala
