Whale Watching on The South Coast

 Tuna, Halibut, Whale WatchingFor year round whale watchers, here are a few whale watching tips: Gray whales may possibly be seen year round on the South Coast, Washington and California coastlines. Warm, weather - appropriate clothing and binoculars really help! Morning light (with the sun at your back) is often helpful to spot blows first with your naked eye, then focus more closely with binoculars. Calmer days are better whale watching days, by land, sea, or air! Any spot with an ocean view may yield whale sightings.  Grey Whale Watching Facts

Charter boat and air services are also available for modest fees at many locations for even closer experiences of gray whales and other sea life. Many of our Charter Boat members run Whale Watching Trips contact them directly for schedules and rates.
A good source of Whale Watching information may be found a local  Department of Fish and Wildlife offices and at the State Parks Whale Watching site: Grey Whale Watching Spoken Here

Grey Whale
Eschrichtius robustus

Description - The whale is mottled grey with numerous white, yellow or orange patches of barnacles and parasites around the blowhole, on top of the head, and on the fore part of the back. Males are 35-50 feet, 28-38 tons; females 42-50 feet, 34-38 tons. This is the scruffiest of the great whales.

Distribution - They occur in the shallow coastal waters of the Bering, Chukchi and Beaufort Seas with small populations from Oregon to southeast Alaska. In the spring they migrate to summer feeding grounds in Alaska.

Biology - This is the only bottom feeding whale; it scoops and filters amphipod crustaceans from the mud; this explains why they are so comfortable in the shallow coastal waters. A single calf is born every other year. There are more than 23 000 gray whales; once nearly extinct, they are now fully recovered and have been removed off of the Endangered Species List.
