Which coastal area would experience the warmest ocean temperature in April?

Question

-East coast of Australia.

or

-West coast of Australia.

or

-Coast of South Africa.

or

-coast of Chile, South America

Answer 1

Coast of Chile has a cold ocean current called the Humboldt Current. — cold water

West coast of Australia also has a cold current called West Australian Current. — cold water

East coast of Australia has a warm ocean current called the East Australian Current that flows south down the east coast from just south of the Equator. — warm water

South Africa has two currents - on the west coast is the cold Bengal Current but on the east side is the warm Alohas current running from the Equator down and also has the warm Mozambique Current. — warm water

Now, is the water off the east coast of Australia warmer than the water off the east coast of South Africa? That is the question.

I looked at the world ocean atlas, temperatures map, and according to the coloring, the south east coast of South Africa is warmer than the east coast of Australia.
