I wasn't familiar with Wind Rose plots, so I looked it up.

As Octave's doesn't handle polar plots in a nice way, I don't think there 
exists a convenient method to produce such plots.

To use Octave for this purpose, you'll have to draw the polar axes and use 
patch objects to produce the Wind Rose.
