3 degrees per 5 knots of crosswind works quite well as a rule of thumb ie 10kt crosswind correct with 6 degrees. (Also useful on takeoff for a wind corrected heading bug!).
As already said, 3 times your height ie 1500' = 45 sec downwind ( + or - tail/headwind correction 1kt : 1sec). If terrain not an issue or pattern, suggest if you are an FO fly a RH pattern so you keep the R/W in your visual scan. After 45sec at F5 spd 180, Drop Gear, F15 and start a desecending turn onto final maintaining approx 7/800fpm, turn final and see what you've got. Should be pretty similar to a normal app ie 2/3 mile final. Fully configure and fly the aircraft, again 2.5degree up fully configured if on profile works well!!
