What makes a good sunset in San Francisco?

San Francisco sunsets are entirely dependent on the marine layer — the same fog that defines the city can kill golden hour completely or produce something extraordinary when it sits low on the horizon and catches color from below. When the layer stays below the Golden Gate, the bridge towers emerge above a sea of cloud and the light goes electric. Baker Beach and the Marin Headlands are the two classic positions. Summer is counterintuitively the worst season; September through November is when the marine layer retreats and clear evenings become consistent.
