There would be a sea breeze

Explanation:

Since the temperature of the water is far lesser than that of the land, there would be a movement of convectional current from the sea to the land as a result of the difference in temperature. This is what is known as the sea breeze.

During the night when the reverse happens to be the case, convectional current moves from the land to the sea in what is known as land breeze.
