Bone Island Tri HIM in January. Warm, very flat, and windy. Water is warm too. Awesome place if you have never been. There is also a full IM distance. Quite of few BT'rs came down for one or the other in January. It was a tough, warm and windy day, but most survived

Here's the link for next years Tri: http://www.boneislandtri.com/

Beach to battleship in Wilmington, NC is flat and was super windy the year I did it. It is end of October or early November. Awesome race!

NOLA is pretty flat and windy and since they moved the swim into a protected area I don't think they'll be canceling it anymore.

HITS Naples (Florida), my wife did it last year and I don't think her Garmin recorded more than 30ft. over the entire 56 miles... pancake flat, nice roads and extremely well organized. Quite inexpensive to boot.
