    Recreational Marine: Wellington
    Marine Weather Situation and Forecast issued at 1602hrs Sunday 24-Aug-2025 by MetService

    Situation:
    A ridge of high pressure covers most of New Zealand today and tomorrow, but troughs embedded in the easterly flow will bring showers to the northern half of the North Island. On Tuesday, high pressure covers much of New Zealand. A low lies north of the country, moving southeastwards. On Wednesday, the low continues to move southeastwards to the north of the North Island. A ridge through central parts of the country weakens as a front approaches southern New Zealand from the Tasman Sea. On Thursday, the low to the north of the North Island moves away to the southeast, while a front moves northwards over the South Island.
