Dan Jarvis from BDMLR said they were called to the beach at about 13:30 GMT.
He said:"When we first got here the animal was opening its mouth wide and beating its tail against the rocks and it sounded like thunder."He said the whale was"in poor nutritional condition" - suggesting it was already in poor health before beaching.Steve Green, from Clean Ocean Sailing, said the whale had been swimming alongside their boat at Helston in the morning and was found stranded on the beach at about noon.
"I was really hoping we could get some help. Twenty people have turned up and I was hoping at high tide we could help her back out," he said.BDMLR states on its website that whales do not beach themselves under normal circumstances.
