Default Dead Calm

Good movie, but...
Since I'm tending more and more toward a sailboat, I have a question.
How often in your various areas is it impossible to move under sail
because it is dead calm?
Anybody care to give an estimate in terms of days/hours/season?
Ohara has said there is "no wind" in the summer on the Florida gulf
coast, but since I'm not there with a sailboat I don't how to
interpret that in a meaningful way.
Thanks.
