If I ever do go surfing near a beach, it will be with waves under three feet. At six feet they are already beyond a point where I would play in them.

Out at sea, rogue waves happen and are to be expected. I feel a lot more comfortable in a sail boat then a motor only driven boat when the weather gets rough. The keel and the force of the wind in the reefed sails makes the motion through waves better. Looking at the Japanese tsunami events, some of the most destructive events occurred when two waves interfered, typically when one wave had already fully drawn out but the crest of the next one came fully down on top of it.

Anything above gale force 8, and including earthquakes, and I would rather not be there. You are going where the wind and the waves have decided your going whether you like it or not.
