If you look at a compass, it points north. Each mark is one degree, and there are 360 on a compass, so 30 degrees east of north means that you head towards the thirtieth park to the east (right) of north. On a watch, if 12 o'clock is north, then 1 o'clock is thirty degrees east of it.
SSW stands for south-southwest, which is a direction located halfway between south and southwest. This direction corresponds to approximately 202.5 degrees on the compass rose.
Wind direction is typically measured in degrees of a compass, with 0 degrees representing a north wind, 90 degrees representing an east wind, 180 degrees representing a south wind, and 270 degrees representing a west wind.
NNE stands for North-Northeast and corresponds to a direction of 22.5 degrees on the compass rose. It is halfway between North (0 degrees) and Northeast (45 degrees).
Heading indicates the direction the ship/aircraft/vehicle you are in is moving toward. Bearing is normally used to indicate the direction something else is relative to you. The ship was heading 085 and maintaining a station on the carrier at two miles and a bearing of 200 from the carrier. This is often the case where a ship or airplane is "pointed" on a bearing across the wind or current and "moving" on a heading that is the natural consequence of the combined forces on the hull.
Scientists would describe a westerly wind as blowing from the west, typically between 270 to 360 degrees on a compass.
On a compass, the direction with a bearing of 450 degrees is located in the northwest region. The standard compass measures the direction in degrees, starting from North at 0 degrees and proceeding clockwise until 360 degrees. Hence, a bearing of 450 degrees is just beyond the West direction, which is marked at 270 degrees, and points towards the northwest. ⓗⓣⓣⓟⓢ :⃝ /⃝ /⃝ⓦⓦⓦ .⃝ⓓⓘⓖⓘⓢⓣⓞⓡⓔ②④ .⃝ⓒⓞⓜ /⃝ⓡⓔⓓⓘⓡ /⃝③②⑤⑥⑤⑧ /⃝Ⓡⓐⓙⓘⓥⓑⓙⓞⓝⓐ /⃝

Wind direction is typically measured in degrees, usually using a compass rose with 360 degrees representing a full circle. Another common unit used to describe wind direction is points on the compass, with 16 equally spaced divisions (such as N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW).
A bearing of 450 degrees on a compass corresponds to due east. In compass bearings, 0 degrees represents north, 90 degrees represents east, 180 degrees represents south, and 270 degrees represents west. Therefore, a bearing of 450 degrees would be 90 degrees past due east.
SSW stands for south-southwest, which is a direction located halfway between south and southwest. This direction corresponds to approximately 202.5 degrees on the compass rose.
The compass direction from Bermuda to Charleston, SC, is generally northwest. Specifically, the bearing is approximately 300 degrees on a compass. This direction accounts for the curvature of the Earth and the relative positions of the two locations.
A compass point of 202.5 degrees falls between the southwest (225 degrees) and south-southwest (202.5 degrees) directions on a standard 360-degree compass rose. It is closer to the south-southwest direction. In terms of cardinal directions, it would be considered closer to the south direction than the west direction.
Swell direction is typically measured in degrees, referring to the compass direction from which the swell is coming. For example, a swell coming from the north would have a swell direction of 0 degrees or 360 degrees.
South West.
Wind direction is typically measured in degrees of a compass, with 0 degrees representing a north wind, 90 degrees representing an east wind, 180 degrees representing a south wind, and 270 degrees representing a west wind.
Direction N38E means a bearing of 38 degrees east of north. It indicates a direction that is 38 degrees east of due north when using a compass.
