Thanks to all who responded. This (quoted below) is the best explaination. I don't have these problems with shots 15 minutes earlier or later, just these 4-5. I didn't have to clean the lens after the shoot (using a hood). I don't have any water or salt on it (San Diego harbor). So I guess it's just a temporary thing. Suprises the hell out of me!
