The coastline of northern California welcomes fog most of the summer. The inland land mass generates heat and that acts to draw cooler, moister air towards it. Hence the fog. While this part of California is also experiencing the same draught as southern, the gentle misting helps keep the coastal areas a bit greener. Not green. Just not as brown. Get a mile or two inland and it is parched. Also, the coastal areas have a much higher beneath ground water table. Many of the homeowners and small communities have wells. The water at Sea Cliff is from a well.
