Surface currents in the New Zealand Region Ocean surface currents in the New Zealand Region. The Tasman Front (TF), the Subtropical Front (STF), and the Subantarctic Front (SAF) approach New Zealand from the west. The STF represents the meeting of Subtropical Water (STW) and Subantarctic Water (SAW), while the SAF is formed by the meeting of SAW and Circumpolar Surface Water (CSW). The fronts contain or generate currents and there are several permanent eddies off the eastern North Island (EAUC, East Auckland Current; WAUC, West Auckland Current; ECC, East Cape Current; DC, D’Urville Current; WC, Westland Current; SC, Southland Current; ACC, Antarctic Circumpolar Current; NCE, North Cape Eddy; ECE, East Cape Eddy; WE, Wairarapa Eddy) There are also areas of tidal mixing in Foveaux Strait, between Stewart Island and the South Island, in Cook Strait, between the North and South Islands, and North of Cape Reinga.
