Words and text by Richard Kotch for World Surfaris

June has been consistently good, without being breathtakingly amazing.

We've had a month of 3-4ft waves every day - literally every day - until the end of the month when it pulsed 4-6ft for a couple days of really good waves. While we are still waiting for the swell that opens up the 'swell of the season’ conversation, the last two days of June certainly raised the bar for the season so far.

The following selection of shots include an entry for every day of June, showing that Lohis and the waves nearby were surfable every day for a month (The actual selection has been trimmed for brevity - Ed.)

Our guests have been surfing themselves to exhaustion every day and the vibe during the sunset session, both on the deck and in the water, has been the most friendly I have ever experienced in thirty years of surf travel. I think that this is why we have seen such a large number of top level pro surfers mingling with the regular guests on the Lohis deck over the past few years. Adriano De Souza (mid-June) and Filipe Toledo (June/July) are the latest big names to turn up and show us how to surf the wave we know and love. To say it has been inspirational would be an understatement, and both have acted as great ambassadors for their country and professional surfing.
