Without boat, captain and crew capabilities and comfort levels....an impossible question to answer.
If discussing your 45 Jeff without stabilizers, are you willing to rock and roll for 30 minutes or so a couple of times on the trip?
If you are, hug the beach as much as you can and you can go in a gale as long as it's North or Northwest.
Otherwise....wind on the nose, 12 knots, on the stern 15 knots and less than 10 from the East.... especially if there is any swell component
The only real current against wind issue is a few miles near both Sandy Hook and Cape May...or entering any inlet.

If from the S, it may actually be larger and more square within 5 to 10 of the coast due to added sea breeze.
Someines the sea breeze can add 5 to 10 knots to a southerly or southeasterly wind, a bit less to southwesterly.
Thursday or Saturday look ths best on my apps.
Really helpful, thanks - based on your apps - would Friday make for an uncomfortable ride in your opinion (recognizing that everyone has their own definition)? Most appreciated!!

Wow you saw it. Heard about it. One of the 2 guys who were on that boat was on the radio the other day talking about his experience.
