Question land/sea breezes

Hey this is mainly a question for you offshore guys, but anyone else who's got answers would be appreciated.

I was thinking about land/sea breezes today, and I realized that I didnt know much about them. I know about the uneven heating/cooling of the land vs. the water, but what sort of wind speeds are we talking about? Also what altitudes do they go up to and how far out to sea do you see the effects? Do you guys climb to get that tail wind on the way out or is it not worth the time?

Thanks for any of your help guys.
