The sun is major source of energy that power surface currents because the sun causes wind to blow and winds cause surface currents to form
Radiation
Heat moves from a Hot surface to a cold surface in an atempt to acheive thermal equilibrium. This is true in most energy transfers High energy ALWAYS transfers to lower energy.
Sunlight warms the waters on the ocean surface. Some heat energy is transferred to cooler waters through convection.
Wind
The sun is the original source of energy for such winds and currents.
