We're planning a kite trip to the Florida Keys mid-June.
Prefer foiling in teen (13-19) mph winds and clear blue water if we can find it.
Any suggestions on general info for mid-June, places to foil and stay in the Florida Keys appreciated.

You can certainly get clear blue water, wind is the hard thing to find this time of year.

Re: Florida Keys in June Foiling
I went right before Covid hit the US. Kited with FS Peak 4's in very poor wind but found good wind in Marathon and Grassy Key. I think it's really hit or miss though. Hands down, Grassy Flats (https://www.grassyflats.com) is your spot and great people. Owned and operated by a lifelong kiter, and I believe he runs the nearby cable park if there's no wind. Great spot/amenities, but more importantly a great spot to launch and foil.
