Calm=no wind speed (or less than 2kts if I remember correctly). If there is no wind speed, then there can't be any wind direction.

But I believe that you're looking at a ground report, not a forecast winds aloft. It would be unusual in the extreme to have wind calm at all levels. It's quite common at ground level, but less so as you move up in the athmosphere.
