Hope this helps.

Always check the noaa website before you leave the house. As we have seen so far this year everything can change quickly. I have a 21cc myself! 3to4 ft seas with winds out of the S or SW are fine but 3 to 4 ft out of the N or NW are not fun! Especially if you venture to far out of Rudee.

This is the basic chart of guidelines. Data on this topic is extremely accurate and available for a wide range of ages and body weights. This data should be taken seriously, the nazis conducted horrible experiments to determine these number. Sickening, they also have the data on the body's tolerance of extreme heat.

Here's a nice real time site. Gives you water temps too.
