South Florida kite surfing during winter months

9:36 pm Kite surfing videos

For east coast kiteboarders and kite surfers looking to get some action during the brutal winters, South Florida is the place to where most of us flock (usually because we have grandparents who live there half the year if not longer). I almost feel like I am at home when I go down and visit, because there’s a very good chance one of my friends is vacationing in one of the neighboring towns: West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami.

The Atlantic hurricane season produces strong waves that allow windsurfers the opportunity for some sick tacks and jibes. On good days, waves can range from knee high to overhead. South east Florida’s season for wind is October through April. In-season winds are ususally 15-20 knots but can reach levels of 20-25 knots. The ocean rarely drops below 72 degrees. For us native north easterners, that’s just below bath water! But for southerners, it’s very common to see kite surfers in full wetties.
