Humpback whales feeding and breaching near Santa Cruz shoreline this week!

Breaching, feeding humpback whales are active along the Santa Cruz shoreline this week!
**Tuesday: Humpbacks breaching in 40 feet of water, feeding and frolicking up and down Santa Cruz West Cliff Drive.
** Wednesday: Humpback whales in front of the Santa Cruz Harbor, plus 7 sharks down the coast.
** Thursday: Humpback whales 300 yards out from the Harbor jetty, plus today we counted 20 gorgeous sharks, all “finning” at the surface, at Seacliff Beach. One great white shark was ~14 feet long!
