Best place without question is the Flats! Pretend you want to go diving, will you settle for dead, nearshore sea grass, lousy visibility, i.e. crap? Or, do you want to checkout a primo wreck in excellent visibility loaded with fish? A boat makes the difference for good diving in many areas and the same applies to Miami kiting. Check it out on a good west wind day, you may not want to go back to the crowded beach launches.

Anyway, IF you work far enough to the east at Matheson, SSW may work. Otherwise, there's is Hobie, warts, hazards and all. The wind will be gusty in both locations due to land effects and perhaps squalls too.
