Lohi's Surf Guide
Lohifushi or Lohi's is high-performance lefthander, where swells pinwheel in around the island and wrap into the little bay with about three sections. The takeoff is into a long, sweeping wall which starts to bend at you a bit and tube as it comes around the corner; and the inside section is thin-lipped and fast and ends in a wide, shallow reef field close to the island. So close, in fact, that at high tide swells wash in over the pathway, and mini-jetties have been built to prevent erosion.
