Cape Toi (Kushima)

Cape Toi (Kushima) is an exposed reef break on the Pacific side where surf can be inconsistent—waves only break sometimes—so checking the swell/conditions closely is essential. The bottom is coral/reef with rocks throughout the lineup, and the takeoff/landing zone can be unforgiving, especially when the tide and currents line up poorly. When it’s working, the spot can offer both left and right waves from a reef structure. In suitable south to southeast swell with appropriate wind, reports describe good wave quality with a peeling feel. One provider notes the spot is cleanest with north or northwest offshore winds, while south/east winds can blow it out. Operationally, access involves a walk from parking areas within the cape area, and the GPS point may not be the best place to enter—local knowledge and/or recent session reports are important. Water conditions can vary significantly by tide and can include strong tidal currents around the headland. Because the reef is sharp and the location is remote, the spot is recommended for experienced surfers only. Bring protective gear (thick wetsuit and reef boots/booties are emphasized), plan for limited rescue, and be mindful of protected-area rules (including entry fee/restrictions) and wild horses roaming the cape hills.
