    Recreational Marine: Kapiti
    Marine Weather Situation and Forecast issued at 0311hrs Thursday 30-Oct-2025 by MetService

    Situation:
    Today, a low pressure system passes northeast of the country, while unsettled westerlies persist over southern New Zealand. The low moves away to the east tomorrow, and a southwesterly flow over the country weakens as high pressure approaches from the Tasman Sea. A ridge of high pressure covers the country during the weekend. On Monday, the high remains over northern and central New Zealand, while a northwesterly flow strengthens over the far south.
