Once again, we had variable weather conditions ranging from cloudy, to sunny, and  with intermittent rain showers throughout much of the day.  Waves were 10-12 feet and the surf was rough.

Shari Goforth reported seeing 3 northbound gray whales. They were approximately 2-3 miles offshore and consisted of a deuce and a single about 500 yards behind the pair.
