Wouldn't you need a directional component for spray, Will - i.e. one that
carries the water inland? Or is that the onshore_flag bit?


In the site specific (best data) forecast code there is a flag for each site
that is switched on if the wind is onshore (it is already used for the
temperature forecasts and a few other things).

Please note: I have changed variable names to protect code integrity which
is actually Crown Copyright.
