How does Crail weather compare to nearby St Andrews?

Is the BBC weather for Crail reliable for beach days?

Should I check bbc weather st andrews instead?
St Andrews is only 10 miles west and often has similar conditions, but Crail’s more open coast can be windier. For the most local data, stick with the Crail forecast above; use the St Andrews one as a backup comparison.
