So what about this fog-line and micro-climates? Is it just around the university, or are there other areas that are more prone to fog than others?
No the fog is not just around the University. The Sunset, the Richmond, the marina (i.e. close to the water) are foggier. The sunnniest parts are the Mission, Potrero Hill and parts of Noe Valley. We live near Dolores Park in the shadow of twin peaks. We can often see the fog rolling in and splitting at Twin Peaks leaving fog two blocks to either side of us, while we have sun. If you are more concerned about sun than some other things (proximity to whatever etc.) I would research this more. If it is a bad summer it can stay foggy most of the time in certain parts of the city.
