Is there something about the sea-land interface that leads to poorer conditions in your case?
You have escarpments, and I live next to a gully with a small creek, and I'm wondering if this indeed has something to do with it.

I know I'm not getting what I was used to get out on rural land, devoid of neighbours's heaters and warm houses. Nor what I got in my suburban block after they went to bed.
