Re: wind in miami/keys/bahamas???
Quote:
The Keys may have slightly more wind than the mainland in Summer but not all that much in most years. I have been hearing about a trade wind-like phenomena in parts of the Bahamas. These areas are east of the Bimini's and western Bahamas. The wind turns on in late morning and goes to around sunset in the mid teen mph + range. I am not that familar with this wind condition in the Bahamas unfornately. One thing I am well familar with however is our tropical weather season which extends through your proposed cruise. If you could choose between October and the summer for kiteboarding, I would think hard about going in October. We are in an El Nino cycle, weather events have been a bit stronger around the world this year. Our hurricane season last year was memorable to say the least. I sincerely hope the coming season is far more passive but I wouldn't bet on it yet. If you were thinking of diving and hanging out in the Bahamas summer is the time to do it, tropical storms excepted. For kiteboarding you might be better off once the cold fronts kick back into play in the fall.
