Harbor Pórou is protected from waves caused by N winds by a mole that extends E for 146 m, with a width of 6.3 m. Natural boulders have been placed alongside the outer side. From waves caused by E winds it is protected by a windward breakwater 245 m long and 15 m wide, of NW direction, which consists of natural boulders.
A part of its inner side, for 120 m from the root towards the head, has been widened for 32 m and is quayed. The entrance opening of the harbor, between the mole and breakwater, is 260 m, with depths of about 6 m. The inner coasts of the harbor are quayed for about 300 m, 50 m of which are on the inner side, W of the head of the mole, with depths of about 3 m.
