Just got back from out of town for a while. To your question, it is wind season, unfortunately, the season is several months long. Meaning you will have both good and off days.
Usually, the wind clocks with passing fronts. This week things seem more complicated with a couple colliding cold fronts keeping the flow out of the west.
As you say, NW winds forecast for this week. Usually, the forecast across the Keys is similar. Not so this time. Looks like Key West and the lower Keys are forecast to have better winds for the first part of the week. They are side offshore from launchable beaches, so a boat trip to the flats is in order through the Kitehouse or other vendor in the lower to middle Keys.
You could also get in touch with Christophe at

There are also prospects for SW and west coasts of Florida. I would be sure to carefully check the forecasts as predicts seem to differ for various areas quite a bit over the next several days.
I would check the forecasts, sat images, real time winds frequently to check trends as changes in the forecasts are likely I think. If you stay mobile, you should grab some good sessions but likely out of Palm Beach, Broward Counties and shoreside Miami-Dade counties, UNLESS things change yet again.
