Most of the beaches down to Byron Bay will be fairly deserted, with congregations at spots like Hastings, where a fickle right and left can form on either side of the point, or Pottsville, where variable sandbars will form along a lonely and sharky stretch of coast. Avoid high tide.
Hastings Point rarely shows it fine potential, but it does suck in available swell and the adjacent beachies might be good. Pottsville is always quiet until the big campsites fill up in summer with holidaymakers. Watch the rips and keep an eye out for dorsal fins.

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.
