A spook is usually a poor choice in any strong cross wind. The loop in the line makes it hard to control the plug......and the loop itself coupled with the sliding action of the plug combines to make the plug sail along too fast. If you want a surface plug in those conditions you are better with a pencil (which sits down more in the water)....or if it is really windy...a popper like a SuperStrike littleneck.

When faced with cross winds I prefer to throw lipped swimmers like dannys or donnys.

One tip on using spooks I've learned from watching the best spook fisherman alive. If a big fish misses, stop the plug and let it sit about three seconds longer than you can stand then twitch it once....let it sit again....then repeat. The fish will almost always crush it.
