Hervey Bay works on anything from NW to SE. There's a couple of places you can go on a Northerly, depending on tides. BOM says low tide is 12:30 on Saturday.
If it's windy enough by then, you can go to a place near the Urangan Pier, called Quota Park (referred to as 'The Dome' by the locals, because there used to be a dome shaped picnic shelter there). Just watch out for the razor shells!
If it's not windy until later on (and it's not too NW), Tooan Tooan Creek (near the seafront oval in Pialba) is about your only other option. There's no beach left anywhere else on an incoming/high tide.
Another option you might consider if you have to wait until later on is a place called Toogoom. It's about 20kms from Hervey Bay, along the Burrum Heads road. I've had some of my best N sessions there. No good at low tide unless you don't mind walking the km or so out to the water. If you wait until the tide has come in a bit, it's great. Hardly anyone kites there though, plus there's lots of stingrays.
Also the long range northerly forecasts never happen 
. Maybe your optimism will make it happen this time Dustin? Hows skeggs going with his new 17m Machine?
