Along the coasts, winds tend to blow onshore during the day and offshore during the evening. This is because land heats up and cools down quicker than water.

During the day, air over land heats up and rises. Cooler air over the water then moves onshore (sea breeze). At night, air over the water stays warm and rises. The now cooler air over land is then pushed out to sea (land breeze).
