Hello Nino,

How much do you weigh? You are arriving in our wind season which is a good thing. The wind is not constant but largely comes with regular cold fronts. The wind direction changes regularly as it rotates clockwise with the passage of fronts. For most shore launches in the area you want winds from the N to E to S. On the Miami Flats, accessible by boat, you can ride wind from any direction. Aside from the Flats, most shoreside launches can be crowded and have access issues in heavily populated Miami-Dade County.

More about area launches, weather, some precautions in posts throughout the section and in:
