West Winds in East Central Florida

[administrator]

Someone was traveling to Titusville and wondered about launches for west winds.


You should checkout Laithman's site for Brevard County, FL kiteboarding. He has a number of Sat. images of various launch areas in the Melbourne area at:

Regarding travel from Melbourne to Miami, here is what mapquest.com has to say about it:

You should look into the forecast for the next few days as the wind has been off lately, as is typical for this time of year at:

The Intracoastal is very wide up that way. You should be able to find a useable launch for west winds (NOT KELLY PARK! - A SPOT KITEBOARDERS NEED TO AVOID). Also, be sure to WATCH OUT for the squalls. They are pumping through regularly on a daily basis right now.

Have fun,
