How to find the appropriate runway..

..to use when approaching a Non-towered airport that does not have asos/awos (or any metar broadcast for that matter)?

As a student pilot beginning cross countrys tomorrow, I wanted to be a step ahead of my CFI. Im doing the PPL-H (and we are to stay out of the flow of fixed wings if possible).

The destination airport is Pahokee (kphk). Closest airport with metar-broadcast is approx 20 nm away to the west(2IS), but would you use the winds broadcast there to determine which runway to use at the non-metar one?

Just curious on other ppl/cpl-pilots in here operating into such airports and how you solve this.

Thanks for your input
