Coastal california is famous for fog and smog (fog mixed with smoke). why is the california coast foggy/smoggy, whereas houston, texas, which is at similar latitude, might get occasional smog from too many cars, but fog is relatively rare?

My guess is because Texas is further from the sea than California.
