Fog belongs here. Onshore convergence of the cool, moist Pacific boundary layer condenses the water vapor readily when humidity is high and only slight cooling is needed. Still, aesthetically it lends an aura of mystery and uncertainty to the stacks and the ocean residing beyond, whose waves carved these basalt formations over eons. Strolling just a short distance beyond them transports one into an entirely different scene, visually distinct and seemingly disconnected from that a few hundred feet away. No wonder foggy conditions have been used historically as cover for all manner of activity not desired to be seen, whether military, criminal or escape from harm.
