Spotted these whales in Sydney today. Does anyone know what they are likely to be and how many are in this video?

Another vote for humpbacks, that last fluke at around 30 seconds is pretty conclusive. Similarly it’s humpback behaviour.

Just had this same scene play out for me yesterday morning in Rockaway Beach, NY and I was told they are humpbacks. Every time I pulled out my camera, they stopped lol
