There are some useful links for wind and bay forecasts on the fishvictoria.com site, if you follow the 'weather' links.
I generally avoid floundering for at least a few days after heavy rain, light showers are unlikely to muddy the bay.
In terms of wind, <5 knots is ideal, and I probably woudn't bother going out in winds stronger than this unless I needed a flounder to save my life.....

You can do it it in max. 10 knot winds, but it becomes very hard to discern objects on the bottom (like flounder) unless you are in very shallow water. Wind direction doesn't matter too much I find, but an offshore (if there is any wind) will flatten out the water.
You can also go floundering in light rain, but forget it if the rain is heavy.
New moon is better than full moon, although as a recent report suggested give it a go if the conditions are good, full moon or not, you might be surprised.
