sea breeze
Shoreline afternoon current
A sea breeze is a wind that blows from the ocean toward land, typically during daytime when the land heats faster than the water.
The cooler air over the sea moves inland to replace rising warm air.
The sea breeze picked up around noon, cooling the beach.
In cocktails, a sea breeze is vodka with cranberry and grapefruit juice.
