English term or phrase: Dokari
our client has referred to the direct translation into Japanese text as Japanese /Dokari.This is the first instance we have heard of Dokari, what is this?

Japanese translation:ドカリ or ドカリの波
Explanation:
["Dokari" High Waves]

The shoreline of the Hiari-Izumiura Beaches is well known as a good surfing spot.
[「ドカリ」の波]
夷隅川河口は、わが国でも屈指のサーフポイントである。
「ドカリ」の波が出来るのは、太東岬沖の海が浅く、表層地殻(岩石)が長々と凸凹に(全体的には平らに)延びて、 沖合い20kmでも水深僅か20mという、サンゴ礁並に発達した「磯根」が形成されているからである。

disagree  michiko tsum (X): I don't know Greek so I can't say for sure, but none of these seems to have anything to do with the question. Please think about what you are posting before you do so.

  -> I was wondering whether there were typo or wrong language pair. As I was seeking for an hour in different dictionaries, only Greek results correspond better... reason of low confidence and FYI only.
