Global winds drive the surface currents, the winds deflect the currents, I Think not 100% sure

Samir West · Answer 2

Global winds drive the surface currents, the winds deflect the currents.

here's two examples, if you need them: The North Atlantic Drift does not hit St. Johns because of the westerlies. The current deflects to the right towards London. Due to the southeast trade winds, the Peru current is deflected to the left. Therefore, global winds drive the surface currents.
