Experts were attempting to shepherd a couple of dim whales out of shallow water and back to ocean close to the Seal Beach-Long Beach outskirt Monday morning.
The whales were seen in the mouth of the San Gabriel River channel where a little group accumulated to watch.
"They were right in the little sound territory," said Malcolm Williams, who works at close-by Ballast Point Brewing. "You can see it from the parking garage."
Williams said he saw the whales gushing and gliding in the water around 10:30 a.m. what's more, that there were no less than 10 or 15 individuals over the divert in Seal Beach watching out for them.
The whales looked little, and the group estimated they weren't completely developed, as indicated by Williams.

Jake Heflin, a Long Beach Fire Department representative, said Long Beach and Seal Beach lifeguards were keeping boaters from the mouth of the waterway. They would like to clear a way for the warm blooded animals to swim pull out to ocean before low tide hits at around 1 p.m.
"It resembled the whales were endeavoring to take off however they were worried that a portion of the boaters may spook them," Heflin stated, including that specialists presume they're a similar two whales that have been sticking around the Long Beach coastline for around two weeks now.
