 Coastal Upwelling and California The diagram below illustrates coastal upwelling along the west coast of South America (South Hemisphere ). Strong southeasterly winds (red arrows) prevail along the coast of southern Ecuador and Peru. These winds drag the surface water northwestward (left of the wind's motion) and cold, nutrient-rich water (dark blue) wells up along the shore of the eastern Pacific.
