What are the prevailing wind directions in Miami? I think that is an important factor to consider. And then you have those shallower waters compared to other places like the nearby caribbean islands for instance.

According to Weatherspark, it's usually from the east year-round, but relatively likely to be from the south during the rainy/warm season.

Generally the hottest summer temps occur around the 33rd to 35th parallel. As you go south of there in summer, days get shorter and you eventually get into the ITCZ which bring down temps a bit
Not true in China (average summer high temperatures in China proper peak far to the south of that line, around southwest Zhejiang, northwest Fujian, and southern Jiangxi). Or in the Middle East, for that matter.
