sea breeze

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'easy comes as a blow on the coast' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'main task' is the wordplay.
'main' becomes 'sea' ('sea' can be a synonym of 'main').
'task' becomes 'breeze' (I have seen 'Simple task' mean 'breeze' so perhaps 'task' could also mean 'breeze').
'sea'+'breeze'='SEA-BREEZE'

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sea breeze that I've seen before include "Onshore wind; cocktail" , "that creates a cool ambience around 6 [ISLE] ?" , "Maritime wind" , "Gentle coastal wind" , "Doctor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
