Solution

During daytime, air over the land heats up, raises upward and creates an area of low pressure. Lake water does not heat up so quickly. Evaporation of water from its surface also cools it up. Therefore, air over the surface of the lake is cooler. It moves towards the land where low pressure area exists. Therefore, during daytime a cool breeze flows from the lake to the land nearby.
