If you can fit your gear in you might want to do it. Mid May is a traditional time when winds start to shut off in the SE however some years continue past this point. You might talk to the Tybee Island Kiteboarding Association (Ga) for more info at:

You can find some historical wind records for May, offshore at Grays Reef on ikitesurf. I would take a few mph off the record to better represent nearshore conditions at:
