Default Which FL spot has the best and most consistent wind/surf?

I have never kitesurfed FL but wish to explore it this coming year. Which spot has the best wind and waves for kitesurfing? A cool town or city for my non-kiting wife would be a bonus. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

With regard to wind, to my knowledge there is no one place with better more consistent wind than the rest of the state. A possible slight exception would be the Florida Keys but even there the wind turns on and off. As a rule of thumb to the reef system the waves in the keys are generally poor. As far as good waves generally you start to feel more Deepwater waves from Delray Beach northward. Once you get past the Bahamian plateau around Jupiter to Fort Pierce and points north and beyond the waves get even better. As a generality, waves are typically better on the East Coast in the west absent special wind/weather conditions.Are you talking about an entire year or there or are there particular months you're interested in? There's a lot of general information at the following links of the upper couple of stickies
