Rideable winds can be rare this time of year in Florida. If you are just starting out, I would say to avoid dead onshore winds. Even without waves it can make getting much done and avoiding injury fairly hard to do. Waves just make things harder. Even for experienced guys, onshore winds are associated with a lot of injuries.
There were some problems in Lauderdale By-the-Sea last year. The Township and Sheriffs Department came very close to either banning kiting entirely or requiring kiters to avoid the pier area and to stay at least 100 ft. away from bystanders with a kite up. A very few local riders created repeated complaints and forced the issue with the Township. So, keep well away from bystanders. More about one of the issues at:
