The main town beach is just a continuation of Sunshine Beach, so the peaks can get punchy and hollow on small to moderate E swells. Stumers Creek often has the goods and thee are proper barrels on the good days. The two NE-facing rocky beaches of Point Perry and Three Bays need a bit of size to get going since they are sheltered from S swells and winds by Point Arkwright. Tidally dependant and a bit fickle, it is usually better at the main beach.
Parking quickly becomes a problem in summer. Get there early.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
