The method comprises obtaining an estimate for a wind power parameter as a function of a relative wind direction, where the wind power parameter is determined as one of a power, a torque, a blade load, or a blade pitch angle of the wind turbine. At time intervals, a data set is established comprising a wind power parameter and a wind direction parameter as measured by the wind direction sensor. Over time a group of data sets is then obtained for a number of pre-defined wind direction intervals, and a wind direction offset is determined for each interval by comparing the average wind power parameter for that interval with the estimate of the wind power parameter.
