What direction the Gulf of Guinea flows?

The Gulf of Guinea itself is a body of water located on the west coast of Africa, bordered by several countries including Nigeria, Ghana, and Cameroon. It primarily receives water from the Atlantic Ocean, flowing into it from the southwest. The currents within the Gulf can vary, but generally, the water flows in a clockwise direction due to the influence of the North Atlantic Gyre. This movement is also affected by local wind patterns and tidal forces.
