    Recreational Marine: Bay of Plenty
    Marine Weather Situation and Forecast issued at 1104hrs Monday 09-Feb-2026 by MetService

    Situation:
    A ridge of high pressure covers most of New Zealand today. Meanwhile, a trough embedded in a strong northwesterly flow should bring rain to southern New Zealand tomorrow. On Wednesday, the trough moves out to the east and most of New Zealand lies under a high. The high moves slowly eastwards on Thursday. A front, possibly with a low, is expected to move onto the South Island during Friday. At the same time, a low over the north Tasman Sea may move onto the north of the North Island.
