    Recreational Marine: Wellington
    Marine Weather Situation and Forecast issued at 1135hrs Friday 29-Mar-2024 by MetService

    Situation:
    A ridge of high pressure builds over the South Island on Friday and persists through the forecast period. A cold front crosses the North Island on Friday, then a low develops to the east early Saturday and directs a strong southeasterly flow over the North Island. Southeasterlies over the North Island ease on Sunday as the low pulls away to the northeast, and the ridge over the South Island spreads north. The ridge dominates on Monday, but a front approaches the South Island from the southwest later in the day, then weakens over the far south on Tuesday.
