This would happen later at night or early in the morning.

The reason being land becomes warm and cold quicker than the water because of the heat capacity. So during the day water warms up because of sunlight but at night the land becomes a lot cooler as compared to the water which is still war. So the air over water is significantly warmer than the air over land.
