Would it be crazy to go from Tampa Bay inlet to Pensacola?

Looks like about 280 NM. I did the crossing from Clearwater to Panama City (about 180nm) two years ago and the boat did fine (though rolly as hell). Looking to try a longer crossing to test out the sails more extensively. Is this a decent time of year to try it? It would be nice to have 10-15 knot winds and not crazy rough seas.

Obviously I would need to watch out for tropical storms, but I should be able to get a three day weather window right?
