Your post is an eye-opener. As strange as this may sound, I also would prefer strong winds (not the powerful, hurricane-strong type).
Thinking about it, whenever the wind is blowing strong, I go outside and look at the sky to see the clouds.
Even if the sky is dark, as long as there is a gap between the clouds where the sun's shine can pass, I know its going to be a good day :)
Anyway, your family owns a beach? That is so awesome (I actually feel the tiniest bit envious) :D
