Maroochydore is the biggest centre on the Sunshine Coast, incorporating some walled up beach breaks and pockets of reef leading down to Alexandra Headland. Avoid the central beach masses by checking places like Pin Cushion behind the caravan park next to the Maroochy rivermouth. WSW winds, all tides and nice SE swell should see some hollow peaks.
Biggest town equals biggest crowds. Other side of the river will be much quieter.

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.
