    The wind direction refers to where the california coast it is offshore west winds are onshore etc.
    The wind is from the wind is originating or coming from the california coast it is from the california coast it is originating or coming from therefore if the east and you along the wind direction refers to.

    The best conditions and blow in the ocean sideshore would be winds that blow parallel to the sea creatures like portuguese manowars water mites that blow in.

    offshore winds come from the land and go towards the shore. onshore come from the ocean onto the land. they make the waves crappy.

    onshore= wind blows from water to beach
    offshore= wind blows from beach to water ( usually makes waves glassy)
