All I can say is that rwy 27 wouldn't be my choice in NW BFT 7-8 conditions.
No idea why one might choose a runway almost at 90 angle on 28-33 knots crosswind.
Wind was later on veering between NW and SW with terrible blows now and then.Schiphol has its own microclimate and the name is derived from Ship's Hell, a name when the Haarlemmermeer was still an inland lake.
I was with my yacht last wednesday and thrursday travelling from Hoorn to SPL and the conditions were far from normal.
