Note
A plural the word rarely needs, because only the compass-point noun can take one. The adjective uses (a northeast wind) and the adverb (sailing northeast) never add an -s. The US region, the Northeast, is a proper name with no plural. Northeasts turns up when separate reference frames give separate bearings, such as magnetic against true or one chart against another.
