I went to the Cook Islands a few years ago around August (I think),anyway it was supposed to be best time for wind but as it turned out I ended up kiting once as the wind just never really came in the 8 days I was there. It didn't really bother me to much as we had a great time, especially at Aitutaki it's such a great place to chill out.
If I were you I'd take it anyway you just never know, it's such an awesome place to kite when it is blowing you'd be pissed off if you had no gear there.
Anyway have a great trip you'll have a ball.
