Mature males: 8-9 meters (24-29 feet). They weigh on average 10-11 tons, and their dorsal fins are up to 1.8 meters in length. Mature females: 7-8 meters (21-24 feet). On average they weigh 7-8 tons, and their dorsal fins are .9 meters (half of mature males).
Killer Whales vary in size from eco-type to eco-type, but on average the females are about 1,200-10,00 lbs, and about 14-20 feet long; the males are a little larger, at about 10,000-18,000 lbs, and about 20-32 feet long.

As a side note the ones in captivity generally are on the smaller side of the ranges given above.

In terms of length then 33 feet usually. In terms of weight then it is hard to tell as the variation is between 3 and 9 tons. So you can say around 6-7 tons as being the medium of weight but isn't accurate.This varies on gender as males are larger than female orcas.
