There was a vinyl 3 board fence put in down the road from us about 15 years ago. In the spring when the ground was very soft after the winter thaw, we had a heavy spring wind and the fence leaned into the east. I always thought it was pretty stupid that no one pushed it up straight and re tamped each post.
It still leans to this day.

That's not so bad then. Being a rail fence with no "sail" effect with the wind like a solid fence would be, you are probably OK.

This is a 3 board rail fence.
I think I had a graying brownette moment. I just measured the posts again.
They are 7 feet long. There are 44 inches below the bottom board.
The boards are spaced with 10 inches between each one.
If I set the post so the bottom board is 10 inches off the ground..
I will have 34 inches in the ground.
Not sure how I managed to measure so far off yesterday!!! criminy

What type of fence...ranch? Privacy? Picket? How tall are the posts?
