Surf rolls in just north of Depoe Bay.

  

 


 


Whales close in swim just under the surface in the kelp beds.



You can see the open blow hole in this picture.

 


The whale's body is visible just under the surface

 


 


Young whale breeches just beyond the kelp beds.

 


Further out, whales lift flukes high to dive deep.

 


 







In the kelp beds, whales swim on their side and fan the water vigorously to stir up food.
