Uneven heating of the land and water by the sun.
Explanation: Sand and land heat up faster than water (different specific heats), so the land becomes much warmer while the ocean stays chilly. The temperature difference creates pressure differences that cause breezes (wind) from the cooler water toward the warmer land.
