Hermanus - 2023-08-26

Extreme waves and big swells in Walker Bay today, windy and icy cold
Real winter weather in Hermanus
But, still the whales showed themselves but a little bit tougher to spot them in the high sea
I think the whales kept a distance from the shore due to the high swells

Hermanus - 2023-08-25

Almost back to winter and horrible weather for whale watching
Boat and land based whale watching at a challenge
Stopped in between downpours and by luck this youngster gave a quick performance
Spectacular land based whale watching from Sievers Punt
Southern right whales

Hermanus - 2023-08-24

The weather improved a lot compared to the last few days
And just as I thought I've seen it all and enough, I haven't
From Sievers Punt in the East to Gearings Point in the West and Roman Rock, in between, the whales have outperformed themselves today
Indeed spectacular and the best views from the cliffs of Hermanus
Southern right whales
