Seaward-blowing land breezes and landward-blowing sea breezes are both caused by differential rates of (daytime) heat gain and nighttime heat loss, as between solids (the land) and liquids (the sea), respectively. During daytime solar heati...

The land breezes, when compared to the sea breezes, are less extensive and not as strong (usually less than 10 knots and less than 10 miles offshore). This is because there is less temperature contrast at night between land and water surfaces as compared to the temperature contrast during daytime heating.

On a warm summer day along the coast, this differential heating of land and sea leads to the development of local winds called sea breezes.

With a high pressure above the water, and a lower pressure above the land, conditions are perfect for a small breeze to develop. Wind blows from the sea, towards the land along the pressure gradient, in an attempt ... Thus, in the day we often see sea breezes, while in the evening we see land breezes in coastal regions.

Sea breezes are most common in the spring and summer, when the land tends to be warmer than the water. Water takes longer to respond to changes in solar radiation, so peak summertime temperatures are reached first over land and later over water.
