"Density altitude" is the issue here. "Sea level", or zero altitude, is established at a nominal temperature and humidity at, not surprisingly, sea level. Raise the ambient temperature and raise the humidity, and even "sea level", right there on the water, can have "altitude" of hundreds, if not a couple thousand feet.
At 3,000 feet above sea level, in a hot and humid environment, the "density altitude" can be much, much higher than that. That's what an aircraft "sees". It "thinks" it's at, say, 20,000 feet, and behaves accordingly.
So, yeah, the "inside" wing lost lift and stalled. Lots of reasons why it would lose lift first. It's a bit obstructed by the disrupted airflow around the fuselage, and it's moving a bit slower.
