    On the West Coast, the current flows South from Alaska.
    On the East Coast it flows North from the Caribbean.
    That’s the basic story. Cold water from the North on the West Coast, warm water from the South on the East Coast.
    Get a wet suit. That’s what the surfer dudes do.
    Have fun!
