Atmosphere

Portete is a small village near Mompiche, is the closest wave from Mompiche, its a good option when Mompiche is on high tide.

Once you get to Portete you will feel like you're in paradise!
Locals are nice and will be glad to help you.

You can rent a surfboard or bodyboard in front of the spot, you can also find a restaurant where you can try a delicious Ecuadorian ceviche for 6$, very tasty in my opinion.
