MetService was forecasting four-metre swells and winds of over 80km/h in the Cook Strait today.
InterIslander cancelled the Aratere's 4pm sailing from Wellington and the return 8.50pm trip from Picton.
Kaitaki sailings had also been delayed by almost five hours after the rough weather added to crossing and turnaround times.
Bluebridge cancelled two sailings earlier in the day as well as their early morning sailing due to depart Wellington at 2am tomorrow.
