Australian Beaches Great Views

South East Coast [Sydney] - Central East [Brisbane/Gold Coast]: November-April for swimming and surfing, though the water isn't exactly warm even then, and sunshine is not guarenteed either, especially in the Sydney area.
Bluebottles [Portugese men of-war] choose this season to visit, particularly if there's an onshore breeze. Warnings will be posted, but locals generally disregard the chance of a close encounter with a few painful nematocysts. Part of the Australian deal, battling nature tooth and claw, but rent a wetsuit if you want to surf with protection.
North East Coast [Cairns & Great Barrier Reef islands]: all year is hot [above 26C] but Jan-March gets some rain and cloud while December-January is crowded and super heated, so April-November is best for swimming. Scuba divers like September-December.
South West [Perth] Best September-November, March-May.
North West [Exmouth, Ningaloo Reef, Broome, Kimberley] Best May-October.
