1. In a thermally-enhanced wind, the wind does not die down as it sets in, unlike the sea breeze, and there is no band of calm that moves offshore throughout the day.

2. In a thermally-enhanced wind, the wind veer is usually much less than that of a sea breeze.

3. In a thermally-enhanced wind, the increase in wind speed covers an area a few kilometres wide and is the same strength throughout, unlike the sea breeze, where the wind is stronger nearer the shore.

There are often cases, especially in late summer, when the sea breeze is fighting against an onshore gradient wind, which can cause very light and shifty wind conditions. Often the sea breeze will win for about half an hour, only to be taken over by the gradient wind again. In these circumstances, it can be difficult to tell whether you are in the sea breeze or not. However, cumulus clouds over the shore will confirm whether or not you are.
