The winds should be significant 15 and up.

Also swells from storms. If coming inwards and tide going outwards the big rollers get steeper.

You will see it. It does NOT come from no where, as long as you pay attention.

Out to the horizon is not bad.

Also some heavier weather experience makes you a better sailor to practice theories of seamanship. This of course, is under controlled conditions. It wont be a big wave or two, it'll be 100's of rollers.
