Hi,
its all about the extension. Don't use .xls extension because its inherits the row limitations of Excel 2003 which is around 65k (but you have over 90k of rows). See here for more information. So please use
   xlswrite('Namsos_01_WindSpeedDirec_2001_2013.xlsx',[Hdr; num2cell(WindQCMat)]);
and it should work fine (This requieres Excel 2007 or newer).
