30 degrees is half. 45 degrees is 70%. More than that, just use all of it. Much of the time its moving around and gusting, so a few knots either way really won't matter, and it will mostly be slightly different by the time you cross the threshold. Close enough for spam can work. Keep it simple, decide, fly the machine, enjoy.
