Apologies for the breath noises, these were taken by my father. But they look like Harbor Porpoises to me, and would appreciate other opinions! So jealous I didn’t see them in person.

Yeah that's a harbor porpoise. They surface very smoothly with no splashing.

From what I’ve seen of them (at the Vancouver Aquarium back when they used to have a rescued pair) they look quite similar, yeah! Right location too.
