Just a few degrees difference in wind direction can make the difference between clean head-high waves and sloppy waist-high mush. Knowing what direction your favorite breaks face is essential to scoring good sessions. A cross shore wind at one spot could easily be offshore for a different spot just a mile down the road. The speed of the wind is also important, and the relevance varies with the direction. A 12 mph onshore wind can make otherwise powerful waves totally unridable, whereas a 12 mph offshore wind might make the wave break even better. For many spots, the best wind is often no wind.
