A whale slapping its tail on the surface of the water is usually simply called a tail slap. This is quite common among whales when socializing or after being disturbed. It may be a form of play or communication, or an attempt by the whale to stun its prey by making a loud noise and creating pressure waves.

The meaning of this behavior is not really known, it has been suspected to mean it is a way to ward off other whales, or to invite other whales to join a group.
