A large whale has nudged a man's jet ski off the South West coast.

Tim Swift caught the close encounter on video about 1km off Dunsborough on Monday afternoon.

The curious Southern Right Whale swam alongside the grandfather's jet ski for over an hour.

"That was a once in a lifetime opportunity," Mr Swift told Nine News.

"This connection we had was just amazing."
