Congratulations on the pass!

From 2,000' to the ground the wind 'backs and slacks'.
Reversing that rule (from ground to 2,000') it veers and strengthens.

As a rule of thumb, add 30 degs, and double the strength (which in my experience works rather better than the met office forecast). So 200 degs 10 knots would be my estimate.

Nearest answer to that is 210/10.

I recall you are supposed to do something different over the sea or at night.
