If you are not able to set the angle to 30 degrees and cut from the end of
the boards, you could make an angle cut from each narrow edge then finish
with a hand saw. If your saw cuts 2.5" deep then you'd have ~ 2.5" to cut by
hand.
If you have a router you can make simple scarfing jig.
Or, can you end the decking an inch or so short and put an angled strip
across the ends?
