How do crosswinds affect runway selection at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport?

Aircraft land and depart into the wind. Headwind is the part of the wind along the runway heading. Crosswind is the part blowing across the pavement. A negative headwind is a tailwind. At Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL/PHNL) the live call is landing and departure 08L with METAR wind 350° @ 4 kt. 08L shows 0.0 kt headwind, 0.7 kt tailwind, and 3.9 kt crosswind from the left. Controllers switch runways when the opposite threshold offers more headwind, or when the crosswind on the runway in use climbs. The component table lists every PHNL threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
