## Conditions at Cook Island

Cook Island is open to the sea from the **NNW–SSE**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the SSW–WNW.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Sun, Mon and Tue. Thu, Fri and Sat are only a trend so far.

The water is warm to about 10 m.
