This cyclone is a monster 
I hope it stays clear of the coast

i have a 3.0m that we could use but some how i think you might not even need a sail if you are up further north
yeah, it's a monster alright.
all i can go off is 3.5m in 50 knots and i spent more time airbourne than sailing, gybes were out of control with the board lifting out of the water.......
and that was in a third of the wind strength.
I hope im wrong, but I reckon bundaberg is going to cop it bad.
interesting reading, check out the storm surge reports scary stuff!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tropical_cyclones
anything can happen but i agree gary.
if i was living in bundaberg/burrum/hervey bay i'd be packing the car ready for a trip to the goldy.
that whole area is very low.
a really hope everyone ends up ok,
there is chatter now regards the 74 floods being repeated in brisbane.
but again, anything is possible. it could also move out to sea.
here are the flood maps, you can change sea level up on the top left.
you can also pan the maps for different areas. includes all of east coast.

who is "chattering" about a repeat of th 74 floods ? Thats a bit outrageous dont you think ??? Lets not run for the ranges just yet......
Should be able to launch off the bottom of Mt tamborine, Yikes and I live at sea level, thank god I have a tinny.
and if I get washed up on to the hills, I'll just live there .

The top one is on the hard at Burnett heads also great windsurfing spot in a northerly and the other one is in the bluehole wavebreak island on the goldy.
