Portofino Surf Guide
Right by the motorway, in the middle of the desert, the small village of Portofino has one of the best rights of the Northern Region. This powerful right is constant and can offer tubing sections, rippable overhead walls, and connections for airs. It breaks pretty close to shore and the rock bottom is covered with urchins.
