Yes, but not for the last six years, which is significant!

No Bonzo, only 6 years of data are not
enough to determine a climate trend.
You need an introductory statistics
course. Please see:

Here, from Hadley Centre, are the global sea surface
temperatures from 1850 to 2008. *Please see:

THERE are 3,000 free-drifting buoys in the world's ocean; first deployed in the year
2000
they allow continuous monitoring of the temperature, salinity, and velocity of the upper
ocean.

There has though been some difficulty in interpreting the data from these buoys. Initial
signs of cooling were dismissed as due to technical errors subsequently corrected based
on
a small sample of the 3,000 buoys known as profiling floats.

Craig Loehle has analysed the data from only the profiling floats for ocean heat content
from 2003 to 2008.
