Google map covers Hervey bay and south to border - not as good as your state web site!!
SUGGEST VIEW IN SATELLITE MODE - ZOOM IN TO LOCATIONS HIGHLIGHTED.

WINDS are in the lap of the gods - this time of year is fical - check out the wind rose for area suggest afternoon time selection.

Consistent winds this time of year in Qld = trades - they are way up north = Kite Surfari zone cooktown way.

Hi Fuall. We generally expect the winds to pick up come October, but September used to be the month they kicked in. Last season was a bit weird. Things got going early and pretty consistently but then Christmas and most of January were well below par. Spots are very tide and wind direction dependent, so message me when you're interested in heading out and I'll give you a heads up.

Not a good looking week at all unfortunately. After the weekend could turn with a southerly change.

Start of next week is looking good for the bay. Just got back from Noosa. RIvermouth is good in N, NE, Lake Weyba in anything S, Call in and talk to George at Adventure Watersports Noosa.

Coming week looks about as good as we get it, assuming the forecast holds. Get in touch if you want to head out, different spots can work at different times of the tide and wind direction.

Heading to HBay. This sun / mon. Wind looks SE and 18-20kts. Do you guys go to pier or near the aquarium in those conditions. How much effect does in/out tide have there.
