Default Wind at Key West around Mid March

I am thinking about an intense kite training week around Mid-March with the KiteHouse, but as i will come the west coast, i would like to have some clues about the wind at this period.
Can i expect to kite every day ?
In the bay area, the wind in season is pretty solid and "easy" to forecast..
I know that they offer to reimburse the day if you cannot kite, but the whole point of the travel will be about kiting , so ...

Out of curiosity , how good is your forecast usually in the region ? can i be sure one week ahead or maybe have the time to cancel the flight ?

thanx,

Forecast is solid and March is a very dependable month here for wind.

thanx,
As a rule, seven days should increase the odds of a reliable forecast substantially. As Greg says, March is a good month anyway. Send Paul Menta an email near the flight DL and he'll give you a good estimate of the prospects.

Default wind at key west

Sand key gives the most accurate reading due to it,s location.

Checkout the Florida Kiteboarding Guide, it has links to campgrounds, etc.
