I flew the boeings for over 10 years. 757/767 most of the time. The wind additive everyone keeps using as an excuse to ask for the surface winds ONLY comes into play if one turns off the autothrottles above 50 ft.
And then it is usually very close to the 5 kts added one had set already.
I say just leave the A/T on until 50ft. This way we don't have to listen to dumb request when the winds are light and variable.
