Yeh mate if the winds up I'll be there...We usually setup on the RHS of the surf lifesaving club house and launch between the clubhouse and the creek. Might see you there...

Great!
Is there any way of getting there from Gladstone? The buses work on weekends?
Cheers

I've been in Tannum for a week. Sadly, very little wind. Hope you're right about the wind. There's only so much staring at the horizon you can do.

I'll PM you my mobile and will make contact Friday...happy to give you a lift down there. There's not much other transport except a taxi and at a guess I reckon you're looking at 60+ one way.

na dont haul your ass up to yeppoon. its going to be real south so we wont get whats predicted, probabys 10 knots under! unless you have a 4x4 and go north, yeppoon will be slack!

tannum is a cute little spot with really friendly locals, you will have fun, iv had a couple of cracker sessions in that creek mouth.

hay juaan
if you want to have a look too see what its like before you head to tannum jump on Gladstone Port Corporation [GPC] website and look up beach webcams and click on tannum sands ..
There is ment to be wind on sat but its been pretty dismal for the last month or so , Dropping tide is the best
fingers crossed

Was down there 15 minutes ago...wind was a bit cross/off. Should be a bit better later on. The BAM markets are on this arvo, so it might make it a little hard to get a park in the afternoon..
