Negan, the wind is from the direction of 100deg, not the direction that is 100 deg away from 340.

The angluar distance between 340 deg and 100 deg is 120 degrees.

If you still can't see it, look at the compass rose on the wind side your CRP-5 (or equivalent) and count the 10-degree divisions between the two directions.
