OREGON STATE PARKS GREY WHALE WATCH AT DEPOE BAY

STATE PARKS OREGON WHALE WATCH OPPORTUNITIES 

Excerpt:

When is the best time to see whales?

In the winter we watch nearly 20,000 gray whales from mid-December through mid-January as they travel south to the warm lagoons of Baja Mexico.

Spring watching begins in late March as the gray whales travel north on their way towards Alaska, calves in tow. The first surge swims by around the end of March, and we watch the north-bound whales all the way until June.

Summer and fall brings resident whales close to shore to feed from June to mid-November. Depoe Bay is a hot spot for whales looking for food this time of year. We consistently see between 5 and 15 whales every day!
