I can see the North Sea from our front door and can assure you that there is not always a cold wind coming from it,, The wind should be described as "bracing" and its purpose is to drive the southern softies, inland folk and other visitors from the beaches into the welcoming arms of the cafes restaurant and amusement arcade owners who are then able to legally remove the contents of their wallets.
This is all part of the process delightfully known as the "English seaside holiday". After a week the visitors are suitably refreshed to then enter into the life and death struggle known as "Holiday traffic jams" These are an interesting nature spectacle not unlike the great wildebeast migrations of the serengetti accept that the river crossing infested by crocs are replaced by " roadworks on the A1" "The A64 at York" the mystery of the "Bank Holiday Contra Flow on the M1" and last but not least particularly for the females of the species "Queing for toilets on the motorway services". This process aims to weed out the weak and infirm so that only the strong can return the following year.
