Annual Whale Migration Information
According to the Birch Aquarium in San Diego, gray whales are most frequently seen off San Diego from late December through March. They generally travel alone or in pods of two or three; at the peak of migration, a dozen or more individuals may be seen together. Grays are relatively slow swimmers, cruising at an average speed of five knots (about six miles per hour). While swimming, they typically dive to a depth of about 100 feet for three to five minutes, then surface and blow, followed by a series of three to five shallow dives and blows before they dive deeply again. Figuring out the breathing and diving rhythm of a particular whale or pod of whales is the key to successful whale watching.
Although it is common to view and spot gray whales from strategic shoreline vantage points such as Cabrillo National Monument on Point Loma or from the cliffs of Torrey Pines State Beach, nothing matches the experience of seeing the grays aboard a whale watching cruise. Here are some of the local operators which give you the best chance of spotting our mammal friends.
