 I saw a few humpback whales in Monterey Bay yesterday.  I was actually hoping to go on a whale watching excursion but they were all cancelled in the afternoon due to high winds.  You can see in the photos the water is pretty choppy.  I shot these from shore near Lucas Point in Pacific Grove.  No single shoot is all that interesting but I think they make a fun series.  These are the final photos from a longer series that start from when I spotted his spout.
