We faced variable conditions at the Point Arena Lighthouse peninsula today. It was quite windy, cloudy, the ocean was covered in whitecaps, there was a great deal of spray from breaking waves, and offshore fog.  At times, a rain shower would occur but generally cleared up quickly.

♦️ 2 northbound gray whales – both singles; round bushy blows that disappeared quickly; one fluked before diving; both were difficult to track for any great distance but certain each one was traveling north
