Hey Rob

There are two beachs that you can buggy on in Louisiana. Holly beach is south of Sulphur Louisiana. Onshore winds at holly beach are from the south.

Grand Isle Louisiana is south of New Orleans. Onshore winds are south east.

We have buggyed on both of these beachs and they are several 100 feet wide so plenty of room to lay out your kite and lines.

Standard tires are good. I always use my buggy with big foot lights on the beach. Low tide there is plenty of hard pack.

That's great to hear about the standard tires are good to use as I do not have big foot tires. I love hard pack sand terrain indeed!
