Seismic noise poses challenges for gravitational wave detection. Effective vibration isolation and methods to subtract unsheildable Newtonian Noise are examples. Seismic arrays offer one way to deal with these issues assuming seismic coherency. In this paper we find that wind induced seismic noise is incoherent and will dramatically reduce the projected low frequency sensitivity of future gravitational wave detectors. To quantify this, we measure the coherence length of wind induced seismic noise from 0.06--20~Hz in three distinct locations: close to a building, among tall trees and in shrubs. We show that wind induced seismic noise is ubiquitous and reduces the coherence lengths form several hundred meters to 2--40~m for 0.06--0.1~Hz, from $>$60~m to 3--16~m for 1.5--2.5~Hz and from $>$35~m to 1--16~m around 16.6 Hz frequency bands in the study area. This leads to significant loss of velocity and angular resolution of the array for primary microseism, 5 times worse Newtonian Noise cancellation by wiener filtering at 2~Hz, while it does not pose additional challenge for Newtonian Noise cancellation between 10--20~Hz.
