The equatorial currents are driven by winds.
Global wind systems which are already powered by energy from either the Sun move the ocean's surface currents. The direction of wind, Centripetal forces from either the Earth's rotation, as well as the location of landforms which interact only with currents all affect the patterns of surface waves.
Equatorial countercurrent is a type of current phenomena that can be seen close to the equator. It is an oceanic water flow that runs counter to the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian seas' westward equatorial currents and therefore is surrounded by them.
Therefore, the equatorial currents are driven by winds.
