I would say boat motion has a greater effect on anchors than almost anything...not wind.

I have seen boats try and anchor unsuccessfully in surf that have used the same setup in screaming winds of 40+ knots. Unprotected anchorages where surge is allowed to build scare me way more than just anchoring in even 60+ knot winds with no surge/fetch.
