You might say you're in the "wake" of whatever it is, but that's usually reserved for when you're behind a moving object (plane or ship). I'd probably say I was on the "leeward side of a windbreak," but I don't know a single word for it.

"Lee" is as close as I think we have. "The lee of the house sheltered me from the wind." Or, "I stood on the lee side of the house."
Highly appreciated! I shouldn't be surprised really, but leeward, or lee side here, seems to be the exact same word and expression as we have in norwegian. Le. I le for vinden. På lesiden. Glad to have expanded my vocabulary!

What is the word in your language
Didn't catch this one, but somehow still answered the question!
