We had a mixture of clouds and sun today at the Point Arena Lighthouse peninsula. Visibility varied from quite good to limited due to offshore haziness. Large waves were breaking on the rocks creating spray and for most of the day, there was little distinction between the sky and the ocean. There was little to no wind which helped in spotting blows and tracking whales.
