In general a gusting crosswind from the left is more favorable then a gusting crosswind from the right as the wind will veer clock wise in the Northern hemisphere.
Asked my Meteo instructor the same question, there is no formula to calculate the degrees of shift.
Mind you she had a Phd in Mathematics and a degree in Met, so I took it that there is none...
