WSW = West-Southwest (237-258 degrees) W = West (259-281 degrees)
Which way is WSW?
West-south-west (WSW) points to a direction west of south-west. Similarly, north-north-east (NNE) points north of north-east.
How do we identify directions?
North, east, south, and west are the four cardinal directions, often marked by the initials N, E, S, and W. East and west are at right angles to north and south. East is in the clockwise direction of rotation from north. West is directly opposite east.
