Water (the ocean is full of it) takes longer to heat and cool down than sand/dirt (desert). So in the daylight, the sand absorbs much more of the sun energy (heat) while the ocean is still warming up. In the night, the sand gives away heat much faster while the ocean is slowly cooling down. The inland-going breeze will bring the moist air above the water surface (temperature-moderation) to the human standing on the ocean-side of the mountain. When the moist air rises up the mountain side, the temperature cools and water droplets will form (fog/rain). After it reaches the peak and descends to the desert side, the air becomes dry again. Cool moist air feels better to a human than dry hot air. Plants like it too.
