Wind, per se, causes damage only physically, by breaking branches,
shredding leaves and rocking the plant breaking its roots. Dry
winds can kill by desiccation and cold ones by 'wind chill' - both
a minor problem with me, but not you. The salt is likely to be the
problem.

Look for plants that are both salt- and wind-resistant, and look up
what was planted at Inverewe for windbreaks. There are books on
that garden.
