Help! Offshore forcast Townsville Saturday

[devocean]

Have a trip planned a long way (at least 120km) offshore from Townsville this saturday. I can't pick the weather from the usual chart as it is so unstable. Anyone got any long range forcasts?

more wind and rain I suspect
Seabreeze says 5 to 10 knots Friday and Saturday but I wouldnt count on it.

yeah, looks pretty unstable. I'd be planning for the standard 15knt winds. Conditions will be rainy though.

Can't even get a decent current reading from out there now. All of the weather stations are busted, best i can do is the AIMS station in Cleveland Bay (just wide of Maggie, is currently showing 10 knots. The Davies And Myrmidon reefs stations are damaged

I am looking at Tuesday to be a good day for a fish.....

Weekend might have the winds down a little, but the swell will be up and that equates to an ugly trip out and back...

120K's of back breakers, no thanks
