Best Answer

Onshore breeze can be due to sunshine warming of the land mass, this causes the air over the land to rise and suck air over adjacent water in towards land.

Sea breeze is the converse with cooling landmass (after the Sun has set) pulling air from higher regions down towards the land and pushing air out over water (which has a relatively more stable temperature).
