Not sure if Latino will be able to get back to you in time. If you have a look at Google Earth you will see that straight north is side offshore along most of the area in SW Florida. Just north of the inlet in Naples there is a section of beach that is closer to running north and south. At the same time, occasionally even though the forecast calls for straight north local weather effects may bend the winds to straight sideshore. If it is a strong north wind there are spots in the bay to the east of Sanibel that can work along the causeway. Some launches along the causeway get tricky with tight confines, traffic and adverse current at times. Otherwise Biscayne Bay by Sea Taxi or Jupiter and points north on the east coast are reliable in true northerly winds.

p.s. - just had a look at the NWS Marine forecast, they're calling for 15 to 20 mph NW. If it happens you may not need to worry about a N launch area this time.
