David, Following on from Jim Lemon's suggest that polar plots might be more what you need, there are both wind rose and polar plot functions in the openair package that might be of use (particularly windRose and polarFreq). They will not do everthing you are after without some careful conditioning or extra work with latticeExtra, but could get you some of the way there.

Hi David, While there are several packages that include plotting routines for wind roses, it looks to me as though you want to define a small number of vectors representing prevailing wind, etc., possible overlaying these on a plot. That might be a job for a circular plotting routine (e.g. polar.plot) rather than a wind rose.
