The 34th match today officially becomes the longest-running America's Cup regatta in history as it enters its 17th day. If only one race is held today, and the Kiwi team can't wrap up the match - the regatta could yet stretch out another two days.
The race has already been delayed by 35 minutes this morning.
Team NZ lead the first-to-nine series 8-5, but the score on the water is now 8-7 with Oracle winning the last four races on the trot.
The breeze forecast around the start time for race one is just 8-10 knots, building to about 14 in time for the start of the second.
Regatta director Iain Murray said he won't start a race in anything under 10 knots, meaning there could be delays while the teams wait for the breeze to fill in. Just how long that delay is will determine whether they can get one or two races in today.
"It's a tricky day out there today, so we'll just go out there and set up and see where it takes us," said Murray.
"We are expecting the breeze to come - it's just when that happens."
Murray said while the official wind range for the event is 5-23 knots, the race committee will wait to the breeze to fill in to at least 10 knots before attempting to get a race away after the teams failed to complete the course within the prescribed 40-minute time limit on Saturday.
The race was abandoned just as Team NZ were about to round the bottom mark for the final time with a 1.5km lead - much to the outrage of Kiwi fans, who thought they were about to witness a famous victory.
Murray said now they have the data modelling that teams cannot complete the course in time in anything under 10 knots, it would be silly to go ahead and start races if the breeze is not strong enough.
"We work hard at keeping abreast of the increasing performance of these boats, or as it might be the decreasing performance in the lighter winds. We now know that when we run the velocity prediction model over the course, we won't finish in under 40 minutes. So the practicality here of setting these guys off on courses, knowing they're not going to finish," said Murray.
"If we can wait 10-15 minutes and be sure in a building breeze like we're expecting that we're going to have a better chance of finishing, that's probably what we're going to do."
