the rotation of the earth
The rotation of the Earth creates the Coriolis effect, which causes wind to be deflected as it moves from the poles toward the equator. This deflection helps to steer the wind into prevailing global wind patterns such as the westerlies and the trade winds, rather than blowing directly from pole to pole.
The spinning and the curvature of the Earth may both impede this phenomenon.
The wind direction would be blowing to the north if it is going over your head while you stand south of the smoke stack.
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.
The Polar Easterlies.
The curvature of the Earth is one barrier to prohibit you from blowing directly from one pole to the other.
The rotation of the Earth creates the Coriolis effect, which deflects wind patterns away from a straight north-south direction. Additionally, the distribution of landmasses and oceans on Earth creates different pressure systems that further influence the direction of wind flow.

Canada to the north and Mexico to the south.
A south wind.

The wind is blowing FROM the North-Northeast to the South - Southwest.
California is directly south of Oregon.
