World wind map

Check out this awesome website

Click anywhere on the map to see the current wind anywhere on earth (displayed in the lower lefthand corner). It's interesting to see the Azores high pressure system that is almost permanently parked there. This will be an area with a bit of a challenge on the return trip. In the meantime, once clear of the Straits of Gibraltar, the wind should be from aft of the beam most of the time until on the return trip from the U.S. back towards the Med.
