Explanation:
Major surface ocean currents in the open ocean, however, are set in motion by the wind, which drags on the surface of the water as it blows. ... The winds pull surface water with them, creating currents. As these currents flow westward, the Coriolis effect—a force that results from the rotation of the Earth—deflects them.

Q)Regular rise and fall of ocean water due to wind?
ANS)The periodical rise and fall of the sea level, once or twice a day, mainly due to the attraction of the sun and the moon, is called a tide. Movement of water caused by meteorological effects (winds and atmospheric pressure changes) are called surges. Surges are not regular like tides.
