Wind guaranteed? Surely you jest. I've even been skunked in Aruba and the Gorge.
Anyway-
Jacksonville pros: good spot on high tide or sail the river/ocean. con: can still be chilly
Daytona: Pro: getting warmer, good beach con: further, college spring breakers may mean accomodations scarce
Cocoa Beach: Still get fronts, warmer, close to the Mouse and other family attractions Con: still further
Tampa/St. Pete: Pro: Lots of sailing spots, other activities con: relies on same fronts as GA
Gulf Coast Pro: Closer, lots of spots from Panama City to Mobile con: colder water, same weather patterns as GA, college spring breakers from Indiana at some spots like Panama City Beach
Miami pro: warm, can get weather patterns unrelated to GA weather con: quite a hike.
Howard Park at Tarpon Springs is a great location. It is waist to chest deep in most places and has good wind. Tackle Shack now ? has a demo man there almost every day to demo equipment. I have been there with just a few sailors and when dozens were on the water. Now is their biggest time. Still wet suit weather. I'm headed down there 3/29-4/3. You can stay in the city or go to Clearwater to be on the beach. Hope that helps.
