Gestalt,
Is that Heron island?

EDIT - North West Is. Just hope the Booby bird sh1t doesn't eat through your monofilm. I think barges go from Yeppoon and Gladstone.

Winter + Central Queensland = No wind

[although North west Is. may be exposed to sw - westerly winds that time of year. Is there any BOM data?]

i looked at heron and lady elliot.

you're right.

never really gets that strong but has SE - ESE winds. best time seems to be cyclone season and i'm not going there in cyclone season.

from the bom data it seems most days it blows 15-20 knots but never really gets over 20. (a kiters paradise)
