Wind Damping for Barometer?

I've noticed that the Arducopter holds much more stable altitudes in steady air than it does in wind.

 

On breezy days, the Arducopter will climb/fall spontaneously while in GPS Hold.  In still air, it holds much better.

 

Should I be wrapping the barometric sensor in foam or something similar?  Has anyone tried damping/insulating the barometer to get more stable pressure readings in Wind?

 

I can't say for sure this is the cause, as I have not seen the raw barometer readings.  Is there an easy way to do that?  I suspect they're all over the place when the Arducopter is tilting into the wind and gusts.
