I think that the remoteness and purpose of the strip would outweigh the trickier than normal operating conditions. There's nothing there, near nothing with ease for replenishing normal operations, but for someone who has meticulously planned and desired privacy, close to the Atlantic Ocean it is near perfect. I would imagine that anyone flying into that strip back in the day would have been at the leading edge of competency. Also by operating early/late in the day and/or at night the winds wouldn't have been generally fuerte.
