Tough luck with the rod Jamcod, if you intend fishing in the near future I have a rod you can borrow.
As regards the wind, i'm surprised you and the FC even went to Sweethope, if there is a slight breeze at home you can guarantee it will be a fair wind when you arrive at Sweethope.
As a bit of help with wind conditions, download GB Wind Map, this will give you a five day forecast as to wind strength's and daily conditions, it isn 't far off the mark.
