Yeah, but the surface circulation on the Atlantic coast is southerly; it turns northerly (the Gulf Stream) farther out on the shelf. In the heat of the summer you want to go to Atlantic beaches in a westerly breeze, causes upwelling and makes the water cooler. In the Pacific there is near-constant upwelling controlled by the current regime, disrupted only by El NoNo. Got very little shelf in the Pacific, especially in northern CA.

I really love oceanographic stuff.
