East coast FL wind
I'm new to Florida, when does the wind die on the East coast?
Can you ride all summer? |

Wind dies for summer
Last year it was great until almost mid-June. This is not last year..

Where do you ride on the east coast? The summer thermals may be better along the NE coast than in some other parts.
Usually, it tunes out around Mid May, estimates vary as you can see. Sure you can ride all summer, just not in Florida. The Florida summer survival riding guide will go up in a while with tips on how to make it through the light wind days until fall.

I ride mostly in South Beach. Actually, there are plenty of Summer days when I could ride the afternoon breeze with a big board and kite, but I'm only 150 lbs.. Anyway, I think I'll usually opt for scuba diving instead.

I ride anywhere from Jupiter to Deray. I cross the state from Naples looking for wind.

Thats great advise RickI. You also answered my next question. How far North to travel to see wind? Looks like Hatteras here I come.
As far as the Caribbean goes.... whats the Bahamas like in summer??? |

I've got good summer wind as far south as st augustine or charleston SC or wilmington NC
Bahamas don't seem to get trades or thermals until you get to the latitude of cuba or so

Much of the Bahamas has a light wind summer as we do. Some areas of the central and southeast Bahamas have trades but less reliably than some other venues. The ABC's, Margarita usually do quite well until August or September when the wind eases or dies at times. Cabarete has a good micro climate with amplified thermal and trade winds. Still, a good tropical system and that can easily get flushed in the summer. Padre Island does well in the summer, still more options.
