Default FLORIDA GUIDE - SW Coast, Ft. Myers, Sanibel Island

Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Island:

The south end of Fort Myers beach is best for south wind to west to northwest. Wind launch is wide open beach with smooth white sand. The gulf waves are 2-3 feet. Bunche beach is NOW closed to kiting however. The Sanibel causeway, before the toll plaza, is best with SE winds to south and SW winds. Conditions range from flat to 2-3 foot waves. The first island of the Sanibel causeway is best for SW to west to NW winds and it can be flat water to choppy. While kiteboarding here you must watch out for strong tides that can take you under the bridges. The Sanibel Lighthouse beach is best for NE to E to SE to south to SW winds. The best winds in this area are from October through April when the winds range from 10 to 20 knots during each cold front.
