The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are completely different. If you research the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, you will have insight into this, as this is like comparing apples and oranges.

the ocean currents in the northern hemisphere rotate in a clockwise direction. So, water along the Florida coast is "heading" north from the warmer waters along the tropics. Whereas the water along the California coast is "heading" south from the cooler artic zone. that is also why Florida has huricans and Cali doesn't.
