A pier or jetty will produce eddies according to the direction of the tidal stream, as also will a buoy moored in tidal waters. Points of land or other similar obstructions produce their eddies. They can also be formed by particular winds, particularly on mountainous coastlines where the wind can be deflected or accelerated by the contours of the coast and act on the surface water of the sea to give it a temporary eddy. An eddy flows in a different, often opposing, direction to the main current.
A counter current is that part of the water which is diverted from the main stream of a current by an obstruction or by the formation of the land and which as a result flows in the opposite direction. It is also the term given to the reverse movement of water caused by many of the big ocean currents, such as the Humboldt, Gulf Stream, etc., which have their own counter currents just outside the limits of their main stream where the water flows in the opposite direction as a compensatory movement.Terme :
