Water breeze (or a sea breeze) is a wind blowing from the sea onto the land and occurs during the day when the hot air from the land rises as the cool air from the sea travels to the land surface.

When the opposite phenomenon takes place you call it as a land breeze. At night, the atmosphere over the land becomes cooler than that over the sea making the warmer air from water rise up allowing the cool land air blowing over to the water surface creating what you call a land breeze.
