begin quotes:
Gray whales migrate south along the California coast primarily from
December through early February.
During this peak, they travel from Arctic feeding grounds to Baja
California's lagoons to mate and give birth, often traveling close to
shore. Peak sightings usually occur in mid-January.
Key Details on the Southern Migration:
- Timeline:
While some start leaving in late fall (October/November), the main,
visible migration past California occurs in December and January.
- Behavior: They travel at a pace of about 75 miles a day.
- Best Viewing Spots:
Points of land like Point Reyes, Big Sur, and Monterey Bay offer
excellent viewing opportunities as the whales pass close to the coast.
- Transition:
By mid-February, the southbound movement slows, and the northward
migration back to Alaska begins, often overlapping with the last of the
southbound whales.
