"Ocean Currents are rivers of hot or cold water within the ocean. The currents are generated from the forces acting upon the water like the earth's rotation, the wind, the temperature and salinity differences and the gravitation of the moon. The depth contours, the shoreline and other currents influence the current's direction and strength."
The gravitation of the moon would obviously have to be omitted or swapped with something. I also still can't remember if anyone has said that the FE can't be rotating and why. But I suppose that should answer your question.
