Heavy Fog and Marine Layer, But Not for Long

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty of California, Inc. CA DRE #01490977

We woke to a very heavy ground fog this morning, with trees just a couple of hundred feet away invisible.

 

marine layer in Carlsbad 

 

By 7 am there were peeks of blue sky through the lifting fog, and within a couple of hours the marine layer had all but disappeared except for hanging just off the coast. Good thing as we were headed out to brunch to celebrate my Moms 90th birthday at hear favorite restautant, Argyle in south Carlsbad on the golf course at the Aviara Golf Club. The edge of the marine layer was right overhead while dining - sun and blue sky to the west, gray marine layer to the east. Such is the Southen California coastline some days.

I am glad the fog cleared up so that you could go to celebrate your mom's party.  Here it is hot, hot, and more hot. I will be glad when the end of October is here so we can start to experience some cooler weather.

Jeff,

Congrats to your Mom!  We started with heavy fog, and it is still here nice and heavy...we had a glimpse of blue on our way back from Yoga, and then back to fog.  I don't mind it, it adds moisture to the ground.  A

Thanks, Ron and Alexandra Seigel . She doesn't really like any sort of fuss being made about having another birth.

Weird that the photo disappeared. I've had to re-insert it twice now. I don't mind the marine layer at all and it burns off. And the moisture is a good thing!!

Hi Sussie Sutton 

Thank you.

Sorry you are suffering with the heat. We just don't get that here near the coast...80 - 85  is a hot day for us in the summer.

Thanks Noah Seidenberg  It turned out to be a gorgeous day just a mile or two inland from the beach but pretty gray there with the marine layer.

Hi George Souto 

It was a wonderful. You can sit outdoors and the restaurant borders the golf course and lagoon, and you can see all the hills of South Carlsbad , Encinitas and La Costa. A beautiful setting...and great food!

You call it the marine layer in California and we call it on shore flow in Washington state Jeff Dowler. It's all cool

Something about that image makes me think of like a Jimi Hendrix album.

Hi Jeff -- I was speaking with a friend yesterday who said the fog was still in evidence in the early afternoon in Pacific Palisades -- it's definitely a part of living along the coast.    Happy Belated Birthday to your Mom.

Happy Birthday to your mom! It's wonderful that you take her out. I'm sure she appreciated it very much.

There's something about sky and fog that is so mystical and exciting! Yours is a great photograph! Those marine layers are like thick curtains - you don't know what's behind them until they are lifted.

I hope you had a great time. And be sure to tell your mom, an AR member said she raised a great son!
