When you name a wind. You name it in the direction it is coming from, so a wind blowing toward the north comes from the south. It is therefore a South Wind.
I used a wind vane to see what direction was the wind blowing to

It is not read , it calculates which direction the wind is blowing at
FROM the North Eastern direction.
it points into the wind. wind direction is referenced so that if you face the direction the metiorologist says the wind is, it will hit you in the face. ie.. 10kts @ 040 (or north east), if you turn to the north east, the wind will be blowing in your face.
