The sea has a greater heat capacity than land, so the surface of the sea warms up more slowly than the surface of the land. (For practical reasons, other offshore wind farms are situated further out to sea and rely on prevailing winds rather than sea breezes.) While many onshore wind farms and offshore wind farms do not rely on these winds, a nearshore wind farm is a type of offshore wind farm located on shallow coastal waters to take advantage of both sea and land breezes. Wind farms are often situated near a coast to take advantage of the normal daily fluctuations of wind speed resulting from sea or land breezes. The term offshore wind may refer to any wind over open water. Sea breezes and land breezes are both important factors in coastal regions' prevailing winds. By contrast, a land breeze or offshore breeze is the reverse effect: dry land also cools more quickly than water and, after sunset, a sea breeze dissipates and the wind instead flows from the land towards the sea. Because land heats up much faster than water under solar radiation, a sea breeze is a common occurrence along coasts after sunrise. As such, sea breezes are more localised than prevailing winds.
A sea breeze or onshore breeze is any wind that blows from a large body of water toward or onto a landmass it develops due to differences in air pressure created by the differing heat capacities of water and dry land.
