Porto Palmas

Porto Palmas is a W-facing beach break in Sassari, Sardinia, Italy. It picks up swell from SW to WSW and W, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 82% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the E: light winds or E breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while W onshores chop it up.
