Northwest (also written north west) is one of the eight main compass directions. It is the direction that is exactly halfway between north and west. On a compass, northwest is at 315 degrees. If you face directly north (0°) and turn 45 degrees to the left (counter-clockwise), you are facing northwest. The opposite direction is southeast, which is 135 degrees—exactly 180 degrees from northwest.
