Our most common whales are the Humpback Whales which feed in the bay quite close to Moss Landing from March through late fall. We have whales and dolphins year-round on the Monterey Bay. The kinds of whales we see depend on the season. In the Spring, expect gray whales, humpbacks, orcas and dolphins. Summer brings humpbacks, blue whales, and orcas. For the fall, expect humpbacks, blues, and orcas. In the winter we tend to see gray whales, orcas, and even a few humpbacks.
