Something used to fence around base - estate's boundaries handling variable wind offshore (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
sea breeze
'wind offshore' is the definition.
'sea breeze' can be an answer for 'wind' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'offshore' bit.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sea breeze that I've seen before include "Doctor" , "that creates a cool ambience around 6 [ISLE] ?" , "Vodka-based cocktail" , "Maritime wind" , "Gentle coastal wind" .)
