the trade winds
If westerly winds blow from the southwest, they would drive water beneath them to the north. If the winds blew directly west, the wind would drive water currents directly east.
They're called jet-streams.
East / west winds will cause sand to drift in a north/south ridge formation (the north/south lines on a map are longitudes, the east/west lines are latitudes).

Winds blowing east to west or west to east are referred to as zonal winds

No, it blows from west to east.
The prevailing winds that blow from east to west are known as the westerlies. These winds occur in the middle latitudes of both hemispheres, between 30 and 60 degrees latitude. The westerlies play a significant role in shaping the weather patterns in these regions.
This would in fact be the Polar Easterlies. Winds from the north blow south, but are pushed from east to west by the Westerlies which forces the wind into a diagonal direction.
