Short summary
The circulation patterns of surface water over the northern Gulf of Cádiz are described based on hourly high-frequency radar data from 2016 to 2020. A persistent current follows the continental shelf slope eastward while near the coast, and currents generally have a balanced (eastward–westward) direction. In summer cross-shelf transport is promoted when westward coastal countercurrents recirculate offshore in the western region and merge with the slope current.
