The grid needs to be balanced, i.e. the supply and demand must match. You can't pump more power than needed just because you can, otherwise everything stops working.
Given this, it's possible the reason is that there wasn't enough demand at that time, especially if other wind farms were generating enough power given the strong winds.
Not an expert by any means, just an educated guess.
