>>>How far do we need to drive to get a good forecast?

Up to you, further you go and closer to the keys , the more wind.
Prolly have to get to at least jupiter and south from there

>>>Any advice on a campground or beach hotel south of Tampa with a good wind forecast?

Depends on your wallet

>>>What spots should we hit on which directions?

I don't know how far you're going, there are hundreds of miles of coastline.
Jupiter, Delray, ft. lauderdale, Crandon, Matheson, Keys; to list just a few

>>>Where is a good spot for wave riding?

Open ocean North of Miami

>>>Where is a good spot for flat water?

Intercoastal areas or Matheson or the keys

>>>Any local dangers (Sharks) or regulations we need to be aware of?

Not many sharks this time of year, Regs at Crandon and ft lauderdale

Have fun, I'll be in Miami and the Keys
