The site above gets you into the oceanography section of the monitoring network of Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. There, you will find a description of the California Current, which flows down from the north, and of offshore transport of cool, nutrient-rich water from depths to the surface, referred to as upwelling. The site also discusses winds and tides.
