Re: is
20+ is never fun regardless of the wind direction. if they overshoot it and it ends up 12-14knots west you might have a nice day. they undershoot it and it blows 22-25knts you can take a beating out there. what size is the boat?

Re: is
That would completely depend on the size of your boat and what type of fishing you are trying to do.
Trolling or chunking on a 40+ foot vessel, no problem. Trying to drift for tile fish or tuna fish on a 25-29 foot sport fisher will be anywhere from uncomfortable to unfishable depending on wave period.

Re: is
West wind can be blowing 25 mph and it will be very comfortable as long as you stay tight to the beach. Offshore is a different story since the farther you get from the beach gives the wind more of an area to build the seas.
20 plus and 3 to 5 offshore is marginal at best for most smaller boats. Mine is a 28 and I certainly would not want to be in that. A larger boat would be better but still could be uncomfortable depending what the wave period is.
