Sorry for the misunderstanding. It can be similar you look at the data from the wind stations along the Florida Reef Tract, say Fowey through Sand Key. The anenometers are 5 to 6 miles + offshore and up about 120 ft. off the water. They typically show stronger winds by 3 to 5 mph than at the shoreside stations. Still the more data the better particularly if you can estimate shoreside conditions for the offshore information.
