What are sea breezes and why do they occur? Sea breezes occur during hot, summer days because of the unequal heating rates of land and water. During the day, the land surface heats up faster than the water surface. Therefore, the air above the land is warmer than the air above the ocean. Now, recall that warmer air is lighter than cooler air.
When this happens the air over the water  slowly begins to rise, as the air begins to rise the air over the  surface of the ocean has to be replaced, this is done by drawing  the air from the land over the water, thus creating a sea breeze.  Usually land breezes are light and reach only 5 to 8 knots.    A  sea breeze is created when the surface of the land is  heated sufficiently to start air rising. As air rises, it is  replaced by air from the sea; you have now created a sea breeze.
