As a general rule the water in the Pacific Ocean is colder than the Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, the Pacific coast has better waves for Surfing due to a narrower continental shelf, a steeper continental slope and inward prevailing winds. Another difference is that the Atlantic Ocean is deeper than the Pacific Ocean
