I think both alternatives are just fine. Kesätuuli is more modern and straightforward, Suvituuli sounds a bit more nostalgic and old-timey... like something my grandma’s generation would have gone for.

(The kesanto/kesiä connection Pursuivant mentioned is a bit stretched, in my opinion, and should not be too much of a concern here.)
