One way you can do it is here:

http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/Composites/Day/

Select wind shear as your variable, the dates you desire, and select 850-200 mb (shear needs different altitudes as you know).

I think you can click on buttons or set a range to get the Atlantic and you should be able to select long-term mean to get the average you're looking for.

Good luck.
