Most of New Zealand wind comes from the Tasman Sea and is molded by the mountains to give different wind patterns to different locations. A graph of averaged out wind speed from various airports and for each season of the year shows some interesting points. Spring is the windiest time and autumn/winter are (on average) the least windy. During summer easterly winds rule north of Auckland and sea breezes dominate in Nelson, Hawke's Bay and Canterbury. The El Niño weather pattern impinges itself upon the Pacific, then there are more (and stronger than average) southwest winds for the whole country. New Zealand has a continuing chaotic clash between winds from the hot subtropics and winds from the chilly sub-Antarctic. It is up to you to combine the words of the weather forecast with your own ideas and to fine-tune the forecast to your own location. Local knowledge and observations of local weather signs (such as animal behavior) help. There's nothing like a bit of reality to help you choose where the wind is best.
