When the wind direction is given in the game it refers to the points on the compass, an absolute bearing - not one that is relative to your boat's heading. For wind direction 0 degrees always means due north, 180 degrees due south, etc. As long as the wind continues to blow to/from the same direction, the report will be the same regardless of your own course or any changes you make to it.

It's not like the bearing of a sound contact on the hydrophone, for instance, which is reported relative to your own heading.
