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.
In winter, the sea is still relatively warm, while the land started to cool off since mid July. So in winter you have a very cold landmass next to a still rather warm ocean. The Sea Breeze usually kicks in in late morning, when the land has warmed up enough to be warmer than the ocean at the same time. It is strongest in early afternoon right after peak heating, then starts diminishing, as the water is getting a bit warmer and the land starts cooling off quickly.
