Explanation

Sea smoke (also called steam fog) forms when very cold air moves over relatively warm water, causing rapid evaporation and subsequent condensation. The water vapor rising from the warm surface immediately condenses in the cold air above, creating a steam-like appearance. This is commonly observed in autumn when cold continental air moves over still-warm lakes or ocean waters.
