Because wind direction is important for alot of things such as sailing,aviation and wind farms. I mean if the wind turbines couldn't face into the wind they'd be very ineffecient. Also if you have wildfires than its life or death if you know the wind currents.

What a wind vane measure?
It shows the direction where the wind is coming from. Like the North, South, East or west.

When the wind direction is 315 from what compass direction is it blowing?
When we measure wind direction, we go by the direction it is blowing out of. If we have 315. 360-45 = 315 which on a compass is NW. This wind we are talking about here is out of the NW. It would then be blowing SE.
What two variables do sailors look for in the wind?
Typically wind direction and wind speed. However if you use the technical definition of velocity (speed and direction) then wind velocity and it's acceleration are most important. For example, it's great to know that the wind is blowing at 5 knots NE, but if it's steadily increasing, and veering to the south that's important to know too.
