The sea breezes that penetrate far inland bend to the right—veer—because of the Coriolis effect. Where sea breezes meet over a peninsula, the two fronts can join to form a line of clouds, roughly over the center of the land, an aerial backbone of cumulus clouds.

In summer, a fog that appears along the coast and doesn’t seem to fit the weather of the day has most likely formed over the sea, then been dragged in over beaches by a sea breeze.

The Land Breeze

The sea breeze has a sibling, the land breeze, powered by the same physics. As we have seen, the heat radiates out of the land at night and especially quickly under clear skies. The colder, now denser air over the land flows out to sea, and the same patterns apply in reverse. A land-breeze front appears with cumulus clouds, but this time out at sea.
