Yeh prob too far and I have been already, my wife wants a change of scenery. It is awesome there though!

Are those tiny bastard jellyfish a thing ?

Bowen at queens beach will be great with the current forecasts .

I'm. At Bowen jetty atm, pretty fun. Blowing 19-22 knots now

tides are fuller in the arvo .try don river if it turns to a n/e sea brease tomorow in the arvo.jetty is great in the mourning on a above 2.0 meter tide in s/e

If you're in Townsville seriously consider a Magnetic Island trip. The Sou'easters are a few knots stronger than on the mainland but the NE is similar strength. The duck's nuts is a morning southerly at Geoffrey Bay at mid to high tide- these are absolute scores for bump and jump. Water is much bluer, swell is more consistent rather than just being short chop and being able to see the bottom is a big bonus. Tides need watching and some of the headlands cause wind holes but overall I reckon its better than Ville local mainland sailing.

Mainland or island hope to see you on the water!

Sounds good, my wife and I are heading over there the long wke. I wonder if you can hire gear over there.

if not maybe I'll try windsurfing over there from mainland.

Just had a great session on an Ultrasonic and 9.5 off Geoffrey in the early 10-12knot SE. Water way out just now but NE building for what promises to be a great session. My tip for here is there is enough swell to make freerace/ fast Freeride gear more fun than slalom. And just every so often the waveboards come out here. Not today.

Hi Mitch I live on the mainland (much as I'd like to live on Maggie). Not sure if I'll be there next weekend but I'll PM you if I will be and how to find me. No gear hire it'd have to be a borrow! Your 7.5 Turbo will be a very useful sail in Townsville - good choice!

Haven't tested that. I've slways walked to Geoffrey

Keep an eye out for Captain Kel - who is on Maggie for the week

Next few days...speed and direction look great for whole Townsville region. Of course I'm working!
