Like Alexandria Bay, Sunshine Beach is another swell magnet with powerful peaks in the lee of the northern headland. Nice holes and gutters help limit the close-outs and there are many access point all the way down through Sunrise and Castaways Beach. Holds it shape OK in the NE'ers.

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.
