The source of that image has been linked to countless times on various threads here.

It's much more interesting than just that static image.

Hi, ian and sandra, welcome aboard CF. Take a look at Stu M's link, it's really neat.

Thank you for sharing.

Another Cool one is windty https://www.windytv.com/?currents,-3.100,287.247,0

It shows a prognosis as well out a week or so. Both windty and earthnullschool show currents as well. Pretty interesting graphic. I had long suspected the little eddy currents in the southern ocean from out regular sets one way then the other, but it is cool to see them shown.
