It's looks quite normal to me.

This one below puzzles me to no end.
It looks to me like there's a series of progressively larger bug deflectors on the hood. Doesn't the high pressure bubble at the base of the windshield have air circulating through it instead of being a locked vortex?

The one 'below' shows the area that is in magenta here.

This is why the bubble top vanagon has better air flow than the pop-top.

Check the numbers.

I wish I could find pictures of Beetles racing in the rain. There's a water roostertail about 6 feet high off the windshield.
