If you go whale watching during one of these times, like I did, you will likely see some gray whales on your cruise. They usually migrate from north to south passing through California in December/January, and then from south to north again with their calves in March/April. Gray Whales (aka the California gray whale) are baleen whales that migrate between feeding and breeding areas. Anytime of year you go can be spectacular! I’ve had great luck going in the spring, though. So when is the best time to go whale watching in Newport Beach? That depends on what you want to see…because if you want to see blue whales you shouldn’t usually go in February and if you want to see gray whales you shouldn’t go in October. California really is a great place to go whale watching! There is also the possibility at different times of year of seeing other whales, such as Humpback whales, Minke whales, or even Orcas. They come to California to feed on krill, so the larger the amount of krill the higher your chances are of seeing these fascinating creatures. Gray whales migrate along the coast between December and April, and they are easy to follow once you catch sight of them because they move at a steady pace up and down the coast.īlue whales are around usually starting in April until October and the summer months are best to see them.
Both come fairly close to the shores which makes them easier to find on whale watching trips.
The most common types of whales to see are gray whales and blue whales. Whale watching happens in California all year round because we’re blessed with different seasons that bring different whales. If you’re thinking about going whale watching, I highly recommend this experience with Davey’s Locker as it is spectacular to experience these magnificent creatures up close and in the wild! Best Time to Go Whale Watching in Newport Beach There are lots of places to go whale watching in California, but so far the best place I’ve been whale watching is in Newport Beach.
