Is Perth Canyon Blue Whale Season happening right now?

As of today, out of season, returns ~February. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.

Each austral autumn, blue whales travel to the nutrient-rich waters of the Perth Canyon off Western Australia to feed on dense krill aggregations.

These seasonal visits draw dedicated research and commercial whale-watching trips; sightings are weather- and prey-dependent but reliably occur during the core months.
