Convection like this  in these temperatures has always baffled me
The key is that the sea surface is more than 10C warmer than the air immediately above it. If the air is at all unstable, convection simply must develop.

With a northerly breeze, the minimum temperature at my location (200m from a north facing coast) was +3.6C. Inland I guess it was freezing. The sea surface temp is about +13C.
