Cordyline in trouble?

Just wanted to check with folk on behalf of my neighbour who has a couple of Cordyline that have been somewhat thrashed by the wind up here on the Durham coast only about 140 metres from the sea. It can be pretty severe with days on end of very stiff breezes: my Armeria shrugged this off but the Artemesia Oriental Limelight looked very 'burnt' yet has burst back into growth
The issue is very pale tips to the ends of the 'leaves'

That looks like a drought problem to me, plus are some of them old leaves that need removing from the base.
Are there any new leaves appearing?

What does the growing tip look like? That is likely to give more clues as to the potential growth of this. Dove is right, drought and dryness likely to be the cause and desiccated by wind.
