punta
Rocallosa. The entrance channel is located at SE-NW direction

However, the port is always affected by sea current of about 3
knots and SW winds specially during afternoon time. Therefore,
vessels awaiting at anchorage should exercise caution so as not
drifting eastward direction where there is danger of grounding.
