The shoreline swings toward the east, away from the fog, at Pigeon Point.

Wind blows out of the fog into the sunshine. It's the the cold moist
dense foggy air rushing to fill the space created by the warming
expanding rising air in the clear sunshine. Same principal that makes
great wind at Crissy, Coyote, Sherman, etc.
Find the edge of the fog, go to the sunny side, and you will find wind.
