Argh. I've been wading sometimes 3 hours a night tide in there. In the past I have seen an 8 foot shark working it's way up from the east end at first light chomping on bait not 6 feet off the rocks. It worked it's way past me and actually tangled in my line for a bit.

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.
