The wind is blowing inland. This is because the sun heats the land and thus the air above it. Since the warmer air is less dense it rises. The water does not heat up as rapidly an remains cooler, and will thus tend to sink. As a result, sinking air from over the water moves inland to take the place of air that has risen.
