Hi bentway; Re: "Ocean currents aren't the same as wind direction, and are fairly constant in direction. Fail.";

So you apparently believe that even hurricanes are unable to move water around. You're a moron.

Here, learn something about ocean surface currents in the Carribean. The .mpg shows that the currents are constantly changing direction. It's only the long-term average currents that are (more or less) constant:

The above is from the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. Their other animations are here:

Surface Currents --- What drives surface circulation?
Over the next few pages of this lecture, you will be investigating the first type of currents – those that are driven by the wind.
