When does fog usually form in inlets and bays?

Fog occurs in inlets and bays when the water temperature is warm enough for water vapor to evaporate off of these water bodies and the external temperature is cool enough close to the bodies of water for condensation to occur. The water vapor from the water bodies contain nuclei by which the clouds can form and if the air is cool enough this will occur over the water body relatively quickly. This may occur more in the early mornings or late afternoons.
