ocean breezes
Seaside air currents
Ocean breezes are cool winds that blow from the sea toward land, typically during daytime when the land heats faster than the water.
The phrase evokes coastal atmosphere—salt air, relief from summer heat, the sensory experience of being near the shore: We sat on the porch enjoying the ocean breezes.
In advertising and product naming, ocean breezes suggests freshness and cleanliness.
