A windsock provides both wind direction and windspeed. So long as you have at least 3 knots of wind the sock will provide wind direction +/- 5 degrees. When wind speed is at least 15 knots (17 mph) the sock will be fully erect (no sagging). Windsocks are designed per the FAA to withstand up to 75 knot winds.
