El Nino reduces upwelling. Normal sea surface temperatures in Pacific tend to be warmer in the west because of upwelling, where warm water flows west because of trade winds and colder water rises up to replace the warm water in the Eastern Pacific. During El Nino, the trade winds get all screwed up and warm water is spread out more evenly in the Pacific. So there is less upwelling and the Eastern Pacific sees warmer sea water.
