A steady northeasterly breeze of 11-13 knots is forecast, an improvement on Sunday's light winds which cancelled racing.
Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa are level with three wins each heading into Monday's two scheduled races.
The first to seven wins claims the America's Cup.
Race course E, between Maraetai and Waiheke Island, the same course used on the opening day of the regatta and known locally as the "back paddock", has been selected for Monday's races seven and eight in the series.
Regatta director Iain Murray said: "I am expecting to set the course up on 025 degrees but I wouldn't be surprised if the direction moved around further to the left through the day."
While the conditions look solid for the afternoon, this wind speed is also in the range where both boats are evenly matched suggesting that another day of close racing is in store.
