Bookworm, that's common sense:
OPERATIONAL PRACTICES FOR INTERPRETATION OF METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATION
For planning purposes an aerodrome shall be considered to be below minimum if:
The RVR or meteorological visibility is below the applicable minima (precision approach)
The ceiling or vertical visibility is below the applicable decision height or minimum descent height (non-precision approach / or circling only)
The steady crosswind component exceeds the prescribed limitation for the aeroplane type. The steady (mean) wind should be used and the gusts may be disregarded.
The head wind or tail wind component exceeds the prescribed limitation for the aeroplane type.
The EU OPS however doesn't specify application of wind for the destination only for alternates. Bear in mind that wind directions given in METAR or TAF are true directions to the nearest 10 degrees within the last 10 minutes.
In other words you can always depart regardless of the wind forecast at destination having alternate within the limits.
