Wanyapu (Bondo Kodi)

Wanyapu (also known as Bondo Kodi) is an exposed reef/point break on the Kodi coast of West Sumba, Indonesia, delivering a left-hand wave that wraps into a horseshoe bay. The seabed is reef with sand influence, so tide level strongly affects depth and takeoff—especially at low tide where the reef can become very shallow. Sessions are generally at their best when east to northeast winds blow offshore and swell comes in from the southwest/south/south-east. In the dry-season window (roughly May through October), the trade-wind pattern is typically more reliable, and conditions are often described as reasonably consistent with good wave quality (often best on glassy mornings). The break is rated for intermediate surfing. Practically, the left-hand option is described as rippable and more “fun/playful,” while the right-hand option can wedge/barrel but may become heavy quickly on lower water; the left option also tends to need mid-to-high tide to run properly. Typical ride length is reported as short-to-medium, with many good days in the roughly 50–150m range. Safety is a primary concern here: rips, rocks/sharp reef, coral, and sharks are reported hazards, and there are no dedicated lifeguards or rescue services noted. Plan for self-sufficient riding, use caution around reef zones, and check tide charts carefully before paddling—especially if you’re not fully comfortable with the current and reef access.
