Yeah, there is a cold water California current that flows south along the coast, but it is the green band of water in that image (>16.7 c, >62 f) in the higher latitudes (>45" N) that is the warm water circulating. Both the Pacific and Atlantic have similar circulation, with Kuroshio current and the Gulf stream being the respective Western Boundary currents.
