Why does the wind change direction from day to night when you are at the beach?

In the daytime, the shore warms more easily than the water. Air over the shore rises, and cooler air from above the water takes its place. The result is a sea breeze. At night the process reverses as the shore cools off more quickly than the water -- the warmer air is now over the sea.

∙ 15y agoDuring the day the earth is heated by the sun. The earth then heats the air, and the heated air rises. As the air heated air rises, cold air from the ocean travels in to take its place, resulting in on-shore winds. At night the earth cools down, making the ocean warmer than the earth and the process is reversed, creating off-shore winds. Cold air is clumped together looking for spots to spread out. That is why when hot air rise, the cold air takes its spot, spreading out, becoming warm and repeating the process over again.

because the warm air over land sinks and stays in place over land.
