The side of a sand dune facing the ocean is called leeward.
A dune grows by accumulating sand through wind action. As wind blows sand particles to the dune's windward side, they pile up and build the dune's height. Over time, this process of sand deposition on the windward side helps the dune grow taller and wider.

The steep side of a dune is called the slip face. It is the side of the dune where sand grains are deposited as they slide down due to gravity.
windward side
The slipface of a dune is the steeply sloping side of the dune that faces away from the prevailing wind direction. It forms as sand grains are blown up the windward side and then deposited on the leeward side, creating a steep angle due to gravity pulling the sand grains downward.
The wind deposits large loose amounts of sand to create sand dunes. The wind pushes sand up one side. That sand will move over the edge of the dune's top. The sand will pile up up until gravity pulls it down and this creates a steeper slope than the one that faces the wind.
