Ah. I think we get a similar, but smaller, effect here for our local winds when out of the east.
The closer we get to land (SW), the less wind there is during the day.
The further out in the channel, the more wind.
I have noticed this for quite some time.
As the land cools off, the winds "fill in" near shore. I think they are really just sinking from the doming effect losing strength as the day cools.
The winds can pick up REAL fast as the land cools. We see it out in the channel before we get it on shore.

Thanks for the info.
Do you guys have the winds fill in as the land cools, too?
