Onshore breezes are the cool, refreshing winds that blow from the sea towards the shore. These breezes are also known as sea breezes, coastal winds or shore winds. They are caused by the difference in temperature between the land and the sea. During the day, the land heats up faster than the sea, causing the air above it to rise and creating an area of low pressure. The cooler air from the sea then rushes in to fill this void, resulting in the onshore breeze. Other synonyms for onshore breezes include coastal breezes, ocean winds, shorelines winds, and seaside winds. Whatever the term used, these breezes are beloved by beach-goers and coastal residents alike for their cooling and refreshing qualities.
