What effect do winds from the ocean have on land near the ocean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The irregularity of land and water forms contributes to the variations in the earth's heating and cooling and the winds, which carry weather. Land near the ocean is warmed in winter and cooled in summer by winds from the ocean. The oceans, covering more than 70 percent of the earth's surface, heat and cool slowly. Land surfaces react quickly, absorbing and releasing heat. Warm or cold winds originating over the vast expanses of water are delayed and changed in character by mountain ranges as they blow over the land masses of the world.

The generally bring humid air masses onshore, and they tend to moderate the temperatures of the landmass the moderating effect is due to the extremely high specific heat of water. This means that it takes lots of energy to heat or cool water in comparison to landmasses, and these inflluence the air above the body of water which wamrs or cools the land
