If you count the jet stream then the prevailing winds are from West to East making the
the West coast the windward side. (This is of course given that the assumption is made over a period of time.) Not taking into account the jet stream, there have been numerious times when the honor has floated between each coast for prevailing winds.

what are the two groups that the lesser Antilles are divided into?
The Lesser Antilles are a chain of islands located in the Caribbean Sea, east of Central and South America. The islands are divided into two main groups: the Windward Islands and the Leeward Islands. The Windward Islands are located to the north and east of the Lesser Antilles, and include the islands of Dominica, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Grenada. These islands are called the Windward Islands because they are located on the windward side of the Lesser Antilles, which means that they are more exposed to the prevailing easterly winds and tend to receive more rainfall as a result. The Leeward Islands are located to the south and west of the Lesser Antilles, and include the islands of Antigua and Barbuda, Montserrat, Guadeloupe, Marie-Galante, Dominica, Saint Martin, and the British and US Virgin Islands. These islands are called the Leeward Islands because they are located on the leeward side of the Lesser Antilles, which means that they are sheltered from the prevailing winds and tend to be drier than the Windward Islands. Both the Windward Islands and the Leeward Islands are home to a diverse range of cultures, languages, and landscapes, and are popular destinations for tourists seeking beautiful beaches, tropical weather, and a rich history and culture.
