In coastal areas, during the day, the sun heats up the land faster than the water, causing the air above the land to rise and the cooler air from the water rushes in to fill the gap, creating onshore winds. During the night, the land cools down faster than the water, causing the air above the water to rise and the cooler air from the land rushes in to fill the gap, creating offshore winds.
