A sea breeze and its nighttime counterpart, a land breeze, occur where the land meets the water. They exist because land and water absorb heat at different rates. Land heats up and cools down more quickly than water. During the day, solar radiation warms the air over land by conduction. The heated air becomes less dense and creates an imbalance of both temperature and pressure between the air over the land and the air over the water. You might suspect that something will happen to relieve this imbalance, and you're right. Recall that air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, and that cooler air tends to displace warmer air. The cool, dense air over the water moves inland, forcing up the warm, less-dense air over land. A convection current results. This is a sea breeze.
Land Breeze
At night, the convection current reverses. Air over land cools down more quickly than air over water. The cooler, denser air moves toward the sea, forcing the air over the water to rise. This is a land breeze.
