SoCal Whale ID?

Sorry for the bad quality photo. I took this years ago from my dad’s plane on either a Blackberry or old iPhone.
This is off the coast of Catalina in the month of January. I’ve always thought they were gray whales, just wanted to see if anyone could actually ID?
Thanks!

Perhaps a mother and her nearly weaned calf?

That’s what I think too!

January is when we start getting gray whales.

Definitely gray whales! The white blotches and the pectoral and fluke shapes are a pretty dead giveaway.

Looks like a pair of grays to me
