'Salt spray' refers to ocean water or mist.
'Whipped up' means tossed, or picked up.
'Coat' in this sentence, means to cover.
'Dessicate' means to dry up water in the leaves
.Another way to phrase the sentence would be this:
The ocean water in the air, tossed around by the hurricane, can cover and dry up leaves that are still on the trees.
