The book 'World Cruising Routes' by Jimmy Cornell would be useful to you. I just bought it myself, because I have to plan a passage from South Africa to Phuket. It has general information about trade wind and currents, but also a large library of specific routes, with way points and other useful information.

or the British Admiralty version "Ocean Passages for the World" NP 136. Primarily for large ships but a lot of the info is very valid!
