Friction with the land surface slows the winds and the loss of the storm's energy source, the ocean surface.

The change in temperature over the land and the physical obstruction of the terrain would both change the winds intensity.
Sometimes , though , the intensity of the wind can increase if the center of the hurricane merges with a deep low pressure area (storm) over the land mass. This doesn't happen very often but is possible. For example, hurricane Hazel came inland and gathered power before it hit Toronto, Canada in 1956.

Trees, hills, mountains, disrupts the winds path...
Water offers no resistance..
