We have a similar experience in the bay every summer... things change
pretty quickly. Some of the newbies think it's odd that several of us
start getting into our foulies after lunch when it's still sunny and
warm. When they ask, I say, well, I know what's coming. Then, when it
does get cold they have to scramble to get their stuff on.

What amazes me most about SF Bay is that it can be almost dead calm, and
within 5 minutes you're struggling against 30kts. Where does that wind come
from??

Actually, it's pulled from the ocean, through the Golden Gate, and
toward Bezerkely through The Slot. The interior valley heats up, hot
air rises, cold air rushes in. It can also go from 30kts to zero. All
you have to do is go around a corner.
