Default Spots and weather conditions

Hello all,

I’m from France and I’ll be amongst you in few months because I move to your country .
Could you give me a quick view of what does kitesurf sound like for you ?
What are different spots, weather conditions etc...

Thank you very much.

I don't have any precise idea for the moment.

I plan to travel world wide during the next 2 years, and I'd like to have an overview about your state.

Thanks

Sadly, our summers "usually" are quite light. Typical weather is changing the world over and even this truism has had limited exceptions. The Tampa Bay area can have thermal winds at times in the summer which can bring some wind relief. What do you guys think you will get wind wise in the bay area this summer?

Tampa bay area will get thermal seabreezes in the afternoons from 2-6pm about 15 kts from the west until around July when the skies will open up
with rain which will kill the wind except for quick 20-40 knot pre-storm
winds which are gusty and accompanied by lightning at ANY time of day.
This persists until about November when it dries out. In the meantime
you can have Tropical Storms, Depressions or Hurricanes at any time.........
