Note that vertically integrated smoke includes high-altitude smoke so it might not reflect air quality near the surface. Use near surface smoke to see how bad the air will be to breathe. Indeed, it looks like a sea breeze is currently keeping near surface smoke out of some parts of the Bay Area.

E.g., https://www.sfchronicle.com/air-quality https://www.sfchronicle.com/air-quality superimposes wind, and also toggles between smoke forecast and real time PM2.5 measurements from the PurpleAir sensor network.
