How would ocean currents work with a gulf that's closed to the equator on both sides?
I'm running a D&D campaign and am using a modified map of Venus for it that shows what Venus would look like with similar amounts of water to Earth. The problem I'm running into is mapping the ocean currents around the equator at this point of the map where a centrally based gulf has land on either side of the equator. Would it still create an equatorial counter current? The other problem I ran into was how this ring of land would affect ocean currents within it. Would it rotate within itself or would it be more likely to force itself through the small waterways around it? This is the gulf causing me issues.^ This is the ring.^ This is the globe as a map to give better context.^
