  Specific solutions of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, such as the
Peregrine breather, are considered to be prototypes of extreme or freak waves
in the oceans. An important question is, whether these solutions also exist in
the presence of gusty wind. Using the method of multiple scales, a nonlinear
Schr\"odinger equation is obtained for the case of wind forced weakly nonlinear
deep water waves. Thereby, the wind forcing is modeled as a stochastic process.
This leads to a stochastic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, which is
calculated for different wind regimes. For the case of wind forcing which is
either random in time or random in space, it is shown that breather type
solutions such as the Peregrine breather occur even in strong gusty wind
conditions.
