Narrative:

[We were] departing 26L on lgl 1B departure. Surface winds were 300 degrees at 9 KTS. The autopilot was engaged with LNAV selected. Just as we selected VNAV the airplane turned left to intercept the pgs G264. The tower told us to fly 270 heading and then further left to 250 and then back to 270. We had checked the navigation prior to takeoff verifying the departure procedures. We think the airplane took an aggressive heading to compensate for the wind before coming back to intercept the track. We did not show ourselves to be off course; but since we were given a heading by the tower that concerned us. The tower controller never said anything else and told us to contact departure control.
