Just returned from a few nights away and returned to Florence down along the coast. The wind was blowing the sea fog south along the shoreline at 16 knots and it was getting caught up on the capes which stick out into the Ocean. It seems that Heceta Head protects Florence from the worst of the fog, and today it was only tavelling as far as the Siuslaw River and not quite reaching the airport.

The seaside town of Waldport, to the north of Florence.

Fog being driven inland after being blown up against Cape Perpetua.

The fog gets a bit thinner just past Cape Perpetua.

Heceta Head and the lighthouse completely covered. Florence gets some protection from this area forcing the fog slightly out to sea. Florence Airport is usually the last Oregon Coast airport to get fogged in…..usually!!
