off to port duglas for some heat and wind, if the graph in cairns says its 20 knots whats it likely to be at port duglas , do i need my 17 , 10 or 12?, im 87 kg on a 5 ' 8 board, playing in the wind swell , i know there are no decent waves unless someone can tell me otherwise, ill travel far and wide for some decent swell while im there.

any help welcome thanks

Have a look in the search section RE Port Douglas - there is heaps of info here!

If you Lazy - your 10 and 12 will be perfect - thats all i fly and I am 85kg / 6'2 and ride a 135 board

The "wind swell" is tiny, it is more like small bay chop.

I have been in PD for two weeks.
First week no wind, last week windy, 15-22 knts sometimes quite gusty. No wind this week, it will come back on Saturday or Sunday.

Don't really trust the graphs, and don't try to add knots to Cairns' forecasts, for the last two weeks they have always been overestimated.
