Why no smoke screen at Omaha Beach

Western Europe

Pretty much the title: why didn’t the navy try to fill Omaha beach with smoke to reduce visibility and ease the army’s advance. Would it have been a problem for the amphibious vehicles or the landing boats? Can’t really think of a good reason why. Then again I’m no military expert.
