The Guinea Current is a slow warm water current that flows easterly along the Guinea coast of West Africa. West Africa is the region of western Africa that is generally considered to include the countries of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte dIvoire, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo. ...
Thus, Lemasson and Rebert suggested that the presence of a westward current at the surface near the coast could be due to the surfacing of the Ivoirian Undercurrent and the seaward displacement of the GuineaCurrent, not due to the reversal of the GuineaCurrent (Colin 1988).
