With a high pressure above the water and a lower pressure above the land, conditions are perfect for a small breeze to develop. Wind blows from the sea towards the land along the pressure gradient in an attempt to equalize pressure. This is known as a sea breeze. In the night, land cools down much quicker than does the waters of the ocean. As the land becomes cooler, so does the air above it. This results in air becoming more dense, forming a high pressure, causing winds to blow outward towards the sea. This is known as a land breeze.
Sea breezes and land breezes are two types of local winds. Sea breezes blow from water to the shore while land breezes blow from the shore to the water. Both sea and land breezes are a result of a difference of air pressure and temperature. Sea breezes form on hotter days because the land warms faster than water.
