Any ideas of Feather Palms suitable for Windy conditions, 7G size

also ok for Full sun and dry conditions? watering weekly or so

 

My guess is Spindle Palms

Bottle Palms

Triangle Palms ?

 

Any more ideas ?

The aptly named "Hurricane Palm" Dictyosperma Album is supposed to handle heavy winds.  It should be ok with full sun even when young.  I am not sure if they tolerate dry winds, or if they need it humid.

Sabal Palmetto.

Pseudophoenix sargentii comes to mind. Maybe even Roystonea regia and the good old coconut palm. Also I’m guessing a lot of the Phoenix species would work well.

Looks like dry Mediterranean summer with little rainfall for most of the year.  Sounds a lot like coastal california.  Do you have constant 15-25 mph winds or something?  I would suggest avoiding water hogs, unless you want to ensure their almost constant moisture preferences.  Constant winds is different than wind resistance to a few high velocity storms.  Many palms in my yard had mimimal to minor damage in hurricane IRMA (65-70 sustained winds for 4+ hrs).  Constant wind could be limiting in a different way.

Formerly in Gilbert AZ, zone 9a/9b. Now in Palmetto, Florida Zone 9b/10a??

For sure royal palms very windy and dry in Phoenix and they do great mine had a long spear out the top and we had a very strong wind storm and I was wondering what would happen to that new spear it didn’t break and opened up beautifully . Any of the Phoenix species also do well
