Nectar Sumurai, Spaceman Dude & the last Shuttle

The buoy is telling us its 9m average and 17m max wave height.  All the big swell points are going to be firing.  But we know they are going to be crowded, this is the most anticipated swell of the year and everyone has known it is going to hit for about 5 days now.

"I've been checking the maps and I reckon I've found a spot that will get the swell, its got a sand bottom off a rocky point and it might be a bit of a walk." said the Dude.  "A big risk to try something new but we knew all the local points are going to be crowded. Plus, the wind was forecast to have too much west in it for the first day so we decided to venture where we thought no man had ventured before" said the Mex.

On the Friday, the Mexican has a quiet word with Rockhead.  Serendipitously, The Rock has had the same spot eyed for years with the Wild Hog Gang and they were also planning an assault.  Could this be the Oldfartsurfers meet the Wild Hogs for a rumble?

After a long drive and a walk,a three rocky points were found on the rising tide.  The sand spit the boys were looking at on the maps wasn't firing but head high waves were found on the first point with two dudes enjoying some smoking head high waves, and, further kilometer away with about 10 dudes were on a point with overhead waves.  This was a place that in the combined 80 years experience between the Mexican and Rockhead, that neither of them had ever heard of.  Sensational in this world of overcrowded breaks.

The boys paddled out at the first point in 5 deg C and 50 knots of westerly.   "The Other Dude got a pearler on the first wave, took off under the lip, avoided the dolerite boulders and sped on down the point" said the Mex.  "We thought we were in for a great session, unfortunately , that was about he last wave that came through, the tide came up and the swell seemed to drop away"

After venting their spleens (literally) on the dolerite boulders the The Dude, The Mex and the Other Dude retired to the Dudes Shack for a couple of ales and a bit of apiary.  "I'd been worried about the Little Dudes in the Box' said the Dude, "all 60,000 of them".  "I was worried the poor little buggers home would blow over and had to do something to save them from the ferocious gusts".

The next day the Dude, The Mex and the Macho Family enjoyed remnants of the swell, secure in the knowledge the hive had been saved.

Note: No Bees lost their tails in the creation of this story, much to the Dude's  relief.
