About
Under the Sunrepo is a secluded reef-rocky surf spot on the Toba coastline, best known for primarily left-hand waves. The bottom is flat/rocky with reef hazards, and the setup is described as exposed and technically demanding to access safely due to the rocky launch approach and limited public clarity. Wave quality is described as good, with ordinary-to-moderate power. The break starts working around roughly 1.0 to 1.5 m and can hold larger swell up to about 2.5 m or more, with typical rides usually short (under 50 m) and extending to around 50 to 150 m on better days. Conditions are reported to be most favorable with an easterly/southeasterly swell combined with offshore/clean westerly wind. While one source listed all-tides, another indicated the best tide position was unknown—so tide selection should be treated as uncertain based on available data. Access is repeatedly described as hard to find and car-based, with a short walk (about 5 to 15 minutes). Expect no lifeguard coverage indicated for the spot; rescue availability was also noted as no/rescue unclear at spot level, so treat reef impact risk seriously and only surf with a plan for safe entry/exit and buddy support.
