Ok so I told myself I wasn't going to ask but I've decided to expose my nievity rather than live my life in ignorance. Let me preface this by saying that in no point in my life have I needed to pay any attention to wind directions. The only wind that has been important to me is the prevailing ones at Wrigley Field. And those are typically described as "blowing out to left", "strait in from center" "left to right" etc... Now that I have been fishing for over a year and have been reading these reports I need to understand this. So the question is this:
When a report lists SW winds does that mean that the wind is blowing in a south west direction or the winds are blowing "from" the southwest which would actually make them blowing in a NE direction? Please help me out with this so I can start paying attention to wind conditions when I'm fishing. Thank you in advance for the help and also for hopefully sparing me the "rookie" slander.
