[Borgbackup] strategy for "off-site" backups

I'm using borg for on-site backups (i.e. high bandwidth between client 
and borg server) but I'd also like to send some backups off-site (to the 
cloud, really). E.g., if I'm doing daily backups I'd like to ship a 
weekly or perhaps only monthly off-site. Is there a simple way to do 
this that doesn't require doing extra backups and ideally also doesn't 
require a borg server off-site?
The current fallback option I have is to rsync borg repositories weekly 
or monthly, but that then does sync the dailies at that point in time. 
What would be awesome is if there was a way to get borg to list the 
repository files that need to be shipped off-site for a specific archive 
or set of archives.
Am I missing something or thinking about it the wrong way?
Thanks!
