prevailing wind means where the wind comes from which is the north west of the sea
When a wind is easterly, it blows from the east towards the west. However, when the wind is eastward, it blows from the west towards the east. The suffix is what determines the direction. "Ly" means from and "ward" means towards. From your example, I would say that the wind is coming FROM the north and blowing TOWARD the south.

To the West.

225 degrees means wind direction is South/West indicating the direction from which the wind is coming. Like 0 or 360 degrees means North direction.
An east wind comes out of the east, a west wind comes out of the west and so on.
If a wind barb is pointed up from it's anchor point, that means the wind is from the south. If it's pointing right from it's anchor point that means the wind is from the west. Imagine the wind is actually blowing the barb itself
the WEST WIND
