'07 215cc - When should I be worried 5',8', 10' seas?

Hey Jan If we waited for anything less than 6 ft we would never get to take our boats out. The wind off Humboldt Bay is always 10 to 15 kts. I am not trying to talk bad about the guys back east but if I had a 210 or a 215 I would think that 10 to 13 ft would not be that bad. Here is the report for the week and I would go out about every day. I would consider this a calm (nice) week.
.TODAY...VARIABLE WIND 5 TO 10 KT. WIND WAVES 2 FT OR LESS. W SWELL 6 TO 7 FT AT 12 SECONDS. .TONIGHT...SE WIND 5 KT...BECOMING NE AFTER MIDNIGHT. WIND WAVES 2 FT OR LESS.

Went in to help a stranded boat that hit breakers during a squall with 5-7 foot white caps. Interval was when the bow hit, it went straight up again at 6mph. I crashed into their boat, they jumped, and I left again. I had the time of my life for sure, and a slight scuff that I'm proud of. Wish I had a camera.
