In this case I'm going to guess tuna or porpoise cuz I don't like thinking about sharks when I'm out there. Plenty of whales go through there too but usually don't see them until November and they don't usually 'tail slap'.



If they were rounded I'm definitely thinking Ocean Sunfish. The fins seem to 'flop' from side to side and don't 'cut' through the water. At least that was the case in the ones I've seen. I doubt they can even 'thrash' like what doktorfaustus saw.
didnt flop....definatly 'cut' through...dark fin not light...maybe looked more rounded to due to pouring rain.....looked like sharks to me...
