Pacific white-sided dolphin by the dorsal shape I'd say.

ahhh everyone was calling them porpoises unless they were a different pod.
That is definitely not a porpoise. Porpoises are usually travelling in small groups, usually 1-4 individuals, and are briefly seen. Dolphins are acrobatic, and often travel in large pods. Porpoises have small, triangular dorsal fins, and Pacific White-sided dolphins have curving larger dorsals.

If you identify the dolphin, does that defeat the porpoise? (Sorry about that, if I don't let my puns out I explode).
