About fog at Montauk

Montauk is on the coast. Coastal fog is usually marine layer or sea fog: moist air that has cooled over cold ocean water forms low cloud and fog, which can drift onshore, often overnight and into the morning, and can hang around when there is little sun or wind to break it up.

In the last two years of weather reports from the nearby Groton / New London airport, fog (visibility of a mile or less) was reported in about 3.3% of hours. It showed up most often in March and June, and most often between 6 and 9 AM local time.

Why does Montauk get fog?

Montauk is on the coast. Coastal fog is usually marine layer or sea fog: moist air that has cooled over cold ocean water forms low cloud and fog, which can drift onshore, often overnight and into the morning, and can hang around when there is little sun or wind to break it up. In the last two years of weather reports from the nearby Groton / New London airport, fog (visibility of a mile or less) was reported in about 3.3% of hours. It showed up most often in March and June, and most often between 6 and 9 AM local time.

How far ahead can I trust a fog forecast for Montauk?

Fog is hard to forecast. The first several hours are the most reliable. Further out the forecast leans on how often fog happens at Montauk at that time of year, so read the second and third day as a chance, not a prediction. The chance combines several weather models with the place's own fog history and is updated every hour.
