John is right about watching the fronts but I would bring what ever I could to be prepared just in case. The first year I went to St. Pete it was a beautiful day and barely staying upwind on my 15m Fuel. As I was sitting on the beach waiting for the wind to get there, a few locals came down and started setting up 7 & 8 meter kites. I thought that was wierd until the front came in.
