Yes the proximity of the Ocean, which changes temperature very little (as compared to land) between summer and winter, means that the air coming off the ocean remains at a lower temperature than inland air during the summer and warmer than inland air during the winter.
Land warms faster than the sea during the daytime because land has a lower heat capacity than water. This means that land can heat up quicker when exposed to sunlight compared to water.
A person at the beach might feel cooler air coming from the ocean during the day as the warmer air over the land rises and draws in the cooler ocean breeze. At night, the opposite may occur, with warmer air moving from the land towards the cooler ocean. This circulation of air due to temperature differences is what creates convection currents in the atmosphere.
The Southern Hemisphere generally has warmer average temperatures compared to the Northern Hemisphere due to greater amounts of ocean coverage and southward distribution of land masses.

Evaporation occurs more from the sea than from the land primarily due to the vast surface area of oceans compared to landmasses, which allows for more water to evaporate. Additionally, the temperature of ocean water is typically higher than that of land moisture, especially in warmer climates, increasing the rate of evaporation. The consistent exposure to wind and atmospheric conditions over the ocean also facilitates greater evaporation compared to the more variable conditions on land.
If there is a breeze blowing from the ocean to the land on the coast of Maine, it is likely during the daytime. This is because land heats up faster than water, creating a pressure and temperature difference that causes the breeze to blow from the ocean towards the land.
This process is known as onshore flow. As the cool ocean air moves over the warmer land, it cools the land surface, leading to lower temperatures in coastal areas. Onshore flow can bring fog, mist, and lower humidity levels to the affected regions.
The climate by the ocean is less variable then over the land, the temperature ranges are more narrow, water tempers the swing in temperature compared to land.
more slowly than that of land. During the day, coastal areas will be cooler due to the ocean's cooling effect, while at night they will be warmer as the ocean retains heat. This creates a more stable and moderate climate compared to areas further inland.
Onshore winds blow from the ocean towards the land. They are typically influenced by the temperature differences between the land and sea, with warmer air rising over the land and cooler air moving in from the ocean to replace it.
