Yes, there is a warm current that approaches NZ from the west, and part of it travels across below the south of the S Island, and follows up the East Coast as far as Otago Peninsula. The other branch of it travels up the west coast of the S island, and finishes about Cape Egmont.
It is because of this, in part, that the West Coast of the S island has so much rain.
It is worth noting, that many of the shark attacks in NZ occur at those two places, Otago and New Plymouth, where the nutrient-rich colder waters meet the warmer waters. The sharks feed at this warm water - cold water interface.
