Some studies have shown sea breezes penetrate inland by 25 to 200 miles. But this is entirely dependent on such factors as: existing air mass movements, land size, temperature of the day, latitude, season, sea temperature etc. We would assume that this distance would be the same (ish) going out to sea. Sea breezes are more pronounced than land breezes.
