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.
Talk to Otherside Boardsports, they are the keys kiteboarding experts

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.
