I got caught offshore in the fog last Saturday. When I launched at daybreak I had an offshore wind holding the bank at several miles beyond where I was fishing.
The wall looked impressive. Wind died and did a 180 becoming an onshore flow. Fog covered me within minutes.
None of the weather sites had any indication of a fog advisory in OC last Saturday.
The next day and the rest of the week all the TV stations were on Fog Watch 2017. Advisories started popping up on the weather links after that.
Thank goodness for my Richie compass and Lowrance GPS as I headed shallower to stay out of the boat traffic.
So be prepared for the unexpected. You can check all the sites and they can still be wrong until a trend is established.
