Lately I have been going through half a gallon of acid a week, or even more, which is higher than normal. My TA is the same at 60. I have a spa spillway, but only a trickle goes down it. I have noticed it's been windy lately, and there are ripples on the water most of the day. Can wind increase acid demand?

Yes - wind can create ripples which in turn aerate the water causing the pH to rise. In addition the spa spillway water flow also aerates the water and the pH will rise.
CH is 400. It's gone up from 350 in the past 9 months, presumably from refill water.
