Yes, I would think that is the optimal environment.  Good soil will be a factor as well.
I would start with 1 or 3 gallon pot.  Once they outgrow this, move to 5 or 10 gallon and continue to up size pot or plant in the ground.  Welcome to the forum.

Figs like dry heat, not tropical heat.  They will grow, but might split and sour if it's too wet where you are.  Some varieties do much better in tropical environments than others.  Good luck!
