How can I remove a section from a lofted surface?

It's a bit crude, but it works.

Extrude your circle through the surface you want to trim. Cap it to make it solid then using the Solid boolean difference create a new Brep. Because part of the boolean is not a solid it might not behave as expected, a bit of trial and error might be needed to get what you want. Then explode the new Brep and show only the surface with the hole in it.

Note that the Item Component is zero (i.e. the first trimmed surface, this might be different depending on your geometry)
