Really interesting responses here, I like the double period rule. I seldom venture into the gulf when it is over 4 feet. It's just uncomfortable. 3 to 5 foot seas with a 5 second period is pretty normal. It's miserable.

On the other hand I was out in the Atlantic in my 18' flats skiff a few months back when it was 6' easy but a long period. Once I got through the inlet it was pretty comfortable.
