Not if he's taken the necessary measures to inform the operators, the risk and blame would be entirely on them. Now if there were actual rotors the AO should close the airfield as it's not a safe operating environment, but with the forecasting of them being so unreliable it could be argued they're creating extra risk by forcing aircraft to return to the mainland when they're only twenty minutes from the islands.
