Buffs
My bet is a school of buffs, this is the time of the year they school up with just the tips of their tails breaking the surface. Once the sea breeze comes in they head to the nearest patch of reef and scatter.

the boys on the Alcoa jetty have been seeing them in that area all week. Plus a small hump back whale which has been using the pylons as a back scratcher

With ideal water temps and shit loads of bait theres no reason for them to leave. They were going nuts at Palm Beach last weekend about the same distance out as in the pic, the bait ball had no chance
