Whale Spotted Off Carlsbad Coast

At least five people confirmed seeing a whale jump out of the water between Cannon Road and Tower 31 in Carlsbad.

In the photo there is a tiny speck of white from the whale expelling air through the blowhole. 

I saw the whale breach while out for a walk around 11:45 a.m. Thursday across from the power plant in Carlsbad, but unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to get it on camera. 

Did you see this whale or another one recently around Carlsbad? Tell us in the comments.
